WILLIAMS — The Flagstaff Police Department has filed a charging request asking Coconino County Attorney’s office to file charges against Charlie Malzahn for the murder of Glendale kindergarten teacher Cathryn Gorospe, 44.
Sgt. Cory Runge, a spokesman for Flagstaff Police Department said the department is requesting charges through Coconino County because of evidence indicating Gorospe was murdered somewhere near Williams.
“While the details are being withheld to protect the integrity of the case, the police have some evidence indicating Cathryn was murdered in or near Williams,” Runge said.
Runge said the exact crime scene had not been located but detectives believe that Williams was the last place Gorospe was seen alive.
He also said evidence of vegetation in Gorospe’s car is only found in Williams and one other place in Arizona.
“We know she was killed in her car,” Runge said. “She then exited the car in the area of Williams and then she was put back in the car.”
