1 MINUTE AGO: Police recover a BLACK Ozark Trail Hiker Pack discarded in Rio Rico — after seeing his image exposed on camera, the alleged KIDNAPPER abandons his phone and leaves behind a chilling WRITTEN DEAL inside the bag

According to sources familiar with the scene, officers were dispatched after a passerby reported spotting a dark backpack partially concealed near brush off a lightly traveled road. Deputies secured the area and photographed the item before opening it under controlled conditions. Inside, investigators reportedly located a mobile phone and a handwritten document.

Officials have not confirmed the exact wording of the note. However, law enforcement sources characterize it as a form of “conditional message” directed toward authorities. Detectives are now analyzing the handwriting, paper fibers, and any trace evidence present on the document. The phone left behind is undergoing digital forensic extraction to determine ownership, deleted content, and recent activity logs.
