COTTONWOOD, AZ — The body of 16 year old Faith Moore was recovered on Wednesday. Faith was swept away by floodwaters near Cottonwood last week.
Her body was found near where the Verde River meets the wash where she was last seen.
According to the Cottonwood Police Department, last Saturday the teen was swept out of her vehicle in a low water crossing after she called 911 asking for help because her car was stranded in knee high water.
Initial crews were able to make visual contact with the victim, but during the rescue attempt she was swept out of her car. Though the water was only up to her knees at the time she called for help, the water quickly rose to over 8 feet within an hour.
