“I know she is in heaven and she is at peace,” Rick Salinas said, tearfully confirming the death of his daughter, Adrienne Salinas, who suddenly vanished June 15 without leaving a trace.

Exactly two months later, Rick Salinas received the bad news in a telephone call from a police officer. Sgt. Michael Pooley, a Tempe police spokesman, also confirmed Adrienne Salinas’ death.

Pooley said the state Department of Public Safety’s crime lab used DNA tests to identify the skeletal remains as those of Adrienne.
