They also like to the news article, and have a map. I wanted to include this link because it might have an update on the identification of the body.

Updated article- skeletal remains..
Would that have happened so quickly? I'm no expert in decomposition but the heat followed by monsoon weather in recent weeks could have led to an acceleration? No idea. Moo

Decomposed Body Found In Willcox Prompts Murder Investigation

A tow truck driver’s grisly discovery along Interstate 10 in Willcox last year has prompted at least two recent search warrants as part of a homicide investigation into the death of a man reported missing in August 2019. The moderately decomposed remains of Christopher Daniel Mendez were found Sept. 24, 2019 under the Rex Allen / Fort Grant overpass by a tow truck driver working in the area.
