 The 46-year-old disappeared on May 22nd after her car broke down on I-10 with her dog inside. She got out of the car and apparently went looking for help. After a two-week search from June 22nd, Cruz found the woman and her dog dead in the Siena Hills community north of I-10. Buckeye Police spokeswoman Carissa Planalp says, While Cruz were prepared that Hope may be deceased, this was not the outcome we wanted.
