APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. (AP) — A body found in a bonfire pile near Apache Junction has been identified as an 18-year-old Tempe man who had been reported missing and the death is being investigated as a homicide, authorities said Wednesday.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s officials said Parker League’s death was “malicious,” but didn’t immediately release any details.

They also wouldn’t confirm whether the body was burned inside the bonfire pit or describe the condition of the remains.

League was reported missing by Tempe police and the body was found June 13 in a remote desert area northeast of Apache Junction in the Tonto National Forest.
