Man vanished months ago when ATV ran out of gas, Arizona cops say. Now remains found

A man vanished after he ran out of gas on an ATV ride, police said. Now his remains have been found in the Arizona desert.

Felipe Calderon Zamora, a 39-year-old from Bullhead City, Arizona, was reported missing July 13 after he never returned from an ATV ride through the desert, the city police department said. Family members said he ran out of gas.

For months, rescuers searched for Zamora and found his quad in the desert, police said.

On Thursday, March 24, Bullhead City police received a call that human remains had been found in the desert. Police believe the remains are Zamora based on “evidence at the scene,” according to police.

“Official identification and cause of death will be made by the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office,” police said on Facebook.

Bullhead City is about 230 miles northwest of Phoenix.
