Pinal County Sheriff's Office deputies are investigating two separate death cases involving a 25-year-old woman and a man discovered in the desert off of Interstate 8 near Casa Grande within the last week.

The woman allegedly was abandoned by a coyote, according to reports from her husband.

Late Monday, the body of the woman, whose name was not released, was discovered in the desert soon after her husband, Jose Daniel Castaneda-Morales, called 911 to report that he and his wife had been in the desert for several days. Her body was located north of I-8, west of Smith Road and north of the Central Arizona Canal, according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

Castanada-Morales, who was identified by his Mexican Voter Registration card, was treated by medical personnel on the scene for dehydration and turned over to U.S. Border Patrol, according to the sheriff's office.

Shortly after 1 p.m. on July 22, the sheriff's office was contacted by the U.S. Border Patrol about a man's body discovered in the desert about four miles south of I-8 and milepost 149.

Their causes of deaths are pending autopsy reports from the Pinal County Medical Examiner's Office.

    I don't like to read about the death of anyone, but this also shows the cost that AZ citizens must endure:

    -- Cost of the rescue, and 911 services

    -Cost of autopsy reports from the Pinal County Medical Examiner's Office

    Where is their contribution to the state and federal coffers?

    IF the Federal lawsuit is successful, let's use a public website, post the name and details of the service(s) performed to deal with any ILLEGAL.
    An ILLEGAL goes to their own Tent City; rounded up until we have enough for a plane load. They have spouses or kids here? Familia? Too bad.
    Send the ILLEGALs to what ever Sanctuary City is on rotation, hand them a map to local Social services, along with a $50. WalMart card. Let them suck up the services of the City that allegedly wanted them, including trying to get BACK to AZ.
    A bit more humane than the exploding microchip I also advocate.
    Will we make a point? Yes.
