Scottsdale police officers went to the trailhead where she was last seen and found her car in the parking lot, according to the release.

Temperatures in Scottsdale exceeded 100 degrees by Thursday afternoon, around the time Moody’s body was found.

The body of Hannah Moody, 31, was found around 12:05 p.m. on May 22 near the Gateway Trailhead of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, according to a Scottsdale Police Department news release.

“Scottsdale detectives and crime scene personnel will now conduct a thorough investigation to piece together what happened to Hannah and how she died,” according to the release.

Her family members told news outlets that she moved from Charleston, S.C., to Scottsdale because she missed hiking in Arizona.
