Arizona deputies find man suffering from gunshot wounds, 2 bodies, during missing persons investigation

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona executed a warrant as part of a missing persons investigation and found one of the men they were searching for suffering from gunshot wounds, as well as two bodies. A second person, the man's father, remains missing.

A Maricopa County, Arizona, man who went missing in July has been found with gunshot wounds, while his father, who's also missing, has not been located, according to authorities, who in their search for the men discovered two bodies.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said Chad Holvig was last seen leaving his Tonopah home July 4, to visit his son, Dalton Holvig.

Chad was last heard from by his family July 6, which a concerned family member said was unusual.

On July 11, Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone’s office launched an investigation into Chad’s disappearance.

Meanwhile, Dalton also went missing, and was last seen July 10 by family members at his Goodyear home on Citrus Road.

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told Fox News Digital in an email Thursday that the investigation into Chad’s disappearance resulted in detectives obtaining a search warrant on a residential property near Latham Street and 181st Drive in Goodyear.

When the search warrant was executed, deputies found a male, later identified as Dalton, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies also recovered two bodies while searching the property.
