PHOENIX - Police say two bodies have been found in Phoenix near where three men went missing, but would not confirm if they are two of the three men reported missing Friday.
Officials said the men, ages 23, 28 and 38, were not heard from after they took a vehicle for a test run in the river bottom in southwest Phoenix Thursday.
Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos said the three friends went missing in the area of 91st and Southern avenues.
When they did not return, family members called police.
The mens' families reportedly searched the area where the three went missing and located the Jeep in the river bottom near 91st Avenue.
Martos said officers located two bodies in the area Friday evening, but would not confirm if they are those of two of the missing men.
According to Martos, detectives will resume their investigation in the morning, as the darkness and rugged terrain have made it difficult for officers to properly examine and identify the bodies.
