The Flagstaff Police Department is reporting that law enforcement has located the remains of an adult female believed to be that of Glendale kindergarten teacher, Cathryn Gorospe.
On October 13, 2017, authorities discovered the remains of an adult female who is believed to be Ms. Gorospe. The identity of the female is pending a positive identification at this time.
Ms. Gorospe went missing on October 6, after bailing out Charlie Malzahn, age 27, out of the Coconino County Jail.
On Sunday October 8, 2017, at 3:47 PM, Ms. Gorospe was reported missing by her roommate. According to the roommate, Ms. Gorospe was going to bond Malzahn, out of Jail, eat dinner and then travel back to Phoenix with him. The roommate reported she has not seen or heard from Gorospe since. The roommate said she felt something was wrong, because it was unlike Ms. Gorospe to do this and not make arrangements for someone to care for her dog.
Investigators were able to determine Ms. Gorospe bonded Malzahn out of Jail at about 10:12 p.m. on Friday. Malzahn had been booked into Jail on August 20th, 2017, by the Williams Police Department for the charges of: theft of means of transportation, prohibited possessor, possession of a gun during the commission of a felony, and entering a public establishment after reasonable request to have no weapons in the establishment.
On Monday October 9th, at about 1:30 a.m., Phoenix Police Department spotted Ms. Gorospe’s vehicle. Once the vehicle was spotted, Malzahn tried to flee from them, and a pursuit ensued. Malzahn crashed the vehicle and was taken into custody. Malzahn has not provided investigators any information about the whereabouts of Ms. Gorospe.
