BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. — A body has been found in Bullhead City, Arizona, the same place where an 8-year-old girl has been reported missing. Officials say the body was found not far from the girl's home around noon on Wednesday.

Isabella Grogan-Cannella, disappeared from her home early Tuesday morning. 

Police said it is too soon to know if it's the young girl.

Earlier Wednesday, police said they were treating her disappearance as a criminal case because Grogan-Cannella vanished without a trace.

Police were called to a home in the 2400 block of Lakeside Dr. around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. The residents reported Isabella, who also goes by Bella, was not in her bed or inside the home.

No other information about the case was immediately available.

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. - Authorities are scouring northwestern Arizona in search of an 8-year-old girl reported missing from home.

Police, firefighters and volunteers are canvassing Bullhead City neighborhoods, nearby parks and river areas to look for Isabella "Bella" Grogan-Cannella. Police were called to her home early Tuesday when the girl's family couldn't find her in the house.

The child was last seen around 11:40 p.m. Monday, and police were called around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday when she was discovered missing from her bed, reports CBS Las Vegas.

Police Lt. Jerry Duke said Wednesday that there's no sign of a break-in. He says investigators haven't ruled out an abduction but have nothing solid to indicate what happened.

The FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have been called in to assist in the search, reports the station.

Authorities say Isabella is 4 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs about 85 pounds and has shoulder-length dark blonde hair and blue eyes.

She was last seen wearing a green, ruffled, sparkly tank top and dark shorts and possibly is barefoot.

Bullhead City is along the Colorado River, about 100 miles southeast of Las Vegas.

Anyone with information regarding Isabella Grogan-Cannella's whereabouts is asked to call the Bullhead City Police at (928)763-1999.

LITTLEFIELD, AZ - A motorcyclist who was arrested after fleeing a traffic stop in the Arizona Strip region has died in custody.

Mohave County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Trish Carter says deputies in the Littlefield area spotted a motorcycle Friday night traveling without a rear license plate.

Deputies attempted to stop the rider, who then abandoned his vehicle and ran into the desert.

Carter says deputies found him in some brush and used a Taser twice after he allegedly became combative.

The suspect stopped breathing while being led in handcuffs to a patrol car.

Despite paramedics' efforts, the man died at the scene.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident. The deputies involved have been placed on paid administrative leave.

The motorcyclist has not yet been identified.

The real " Navajo Bigfoot story"

Bigfoot's stomping grounds

There's more to Upper Fruitland than Northern Edge casino

BOTTOM: This photo by Brenda Harris of Upper Fruitland, N.M., shows a figure she believes is a Bigfoot walking behind a cornfield near the San Juan River. Harris, who has investigated dozens of sightings and strange phenomena in her chapter, believes there is at least a family and possibly a whole colony of the creatures living in the mountains north of Fruitland.

Meet the Navajo Buffy.

She's not a pretty cheerleader, she's a pretty middle-aged mom. And she's not a vampire slayer, exactly ... she's more of a live-and-let-live type.

But if you live on the northern edge of the rez, and there's something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call? Brenda Harris.

Since finding an 18-inch long footprint in her yard in Upper Fruitland, Harris has investigated dozens of complaints from neighbors about strange livestock killings, hairy upright beings looking in windows, and odd giant footprints.

She has photographs and even hair and blood samples.

Her conclusion: Bigfoot is alive and well. In fact, there are almost certainly more than one of them living in the mountains north of the San Juan River, including some youngsters.

And that's not at all. There is something else out there.

According to Harris, a recent spate of sheep and goat killings in Upper Fruitland reveal a killer that punctures a tidy hole in the neck and sucks the blood, then neatly slices open the abdomen along one side.

Harris's obsession with monster tracking began in August 2008. Her son and nephew were up late, sitting out in the yard laughing and chatting.

"About 1 a.m. they came running in saying, 'We found something,'" Harris recalled.

She went out with them and was astonished to see a quasi-human-looking footprint 18 inches long and four inches wide. There were two of them, a left and a right, four feet apart.

"I thought, 'Anything with that wide a stance is really big,'" Harris said.

She shooed her family in for the night, but not before taking measurements and photos.

About a week went by before the next encounter. Harris's sister came by at about 10:30 p.m.

"I could hear the dogs going nuts, but not in the usual way when someone comes over," Harris recalled. "You can tell when something is really disturbing your dogs."

Harris and her sister went out to investigate.

"We could hear something ... heavy steps coming toward us," Harris said. "I said, 'Let's climb over the fence.'"

They heard the steps again, and then they saw a shape rise out of the gloom.

"Huge," said Harris. "Very, very hairy ... long dark hair and no neck. Kind of a pointy head. The chest was really wide, very muscular. It dropped down on all fours and started running that way. It was surprisingly fast."

Harris noticed the weeds, which grew almost above her 5-foot-2-inch frame, hit the creature at the waist. She estimated it was about 12 feet tall.

Telling the story to her neighbors, Harris found they had all seen the creature, but didn't want to talk about it.

"Among the Native people, we're told not to talk about things like that," she said. "You just leave it alone. But I was worried about my animals and my kids. I felt like we should be talking about it as a community.

GLENDALE, AZ - Glendale police have released two sketches they say is a suspect or suspects in attacks on two women in the same apartment complex.

As she walked back to her apartment, the suspect grabbed her, pulled her down to the gravel landscaping and attempted to sexually assault her.

Police say the woman was able to fight the suspect off and escape. She called her friend and police and the suspect fled on foot through the complex.

Three days later, a 23-year-old female arrived at the apartment parking lot just before 5:30 a.m. after leaving work.

Police say that as the victim walked to her outside stairs she was grabbed from behind and thrown down on the gravel landscaping where the suspect tried to sexually assault her.

The victim began to scream and two men came out of their apartment and chased the suspect off, who fled through the apartment complex on foot.

Police say the description of the suspect in both cases is very similar. He is described as a Hispanic or Native American male, 19 to 25 years old, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 to 180 pounds with short black hair, possible with short spikes on top.
