Sheriff’s deputies arrested two men Friday in connection with a body found a day earlier in Pinal County.

The body, found Thursday morning in the Santa Cruz Wash off Anderson Road in Maricopa, was identified as 42-year-old Troy Beebe, of Casa Grande, Pinal County Sheriff’s officials said in a news release.

Deputies determined that Beebe was the victim of a vehicular assault near his home. HI body was moved and left in the wash, south of Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway, where deputies found him.

Detectives arrested 37-year-old Robin Franklin and 36-year-old John Radcliff, and both men were booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center on suspicion of first-degree murder, according to the release. 

“Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Beebe, as they deal with the loss of a loved one” said Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, in the news release.

“I want to thank all of our staff involved in investigating this case. Within hours, they were able to track down both suspects and take them into custody. Hopefully, this will bring the victim’s family some closure,” Lamb continued.
