Shawn Woofruff Death: The man whose body was discovered at the Southwest Regional Landfill on April 10 has been identified as 60-year-old Shawn Woofruff, as confirmed by officials from the Buckeye Police Department in a statement released on April 17. The body was found among refuse that had been brought to the site earlier that day.
This specific section of the landfill receives waste from various transfer stations across the valley, making it difficult to determine the origin of the body. The next of kin has been informed about the situation. Woodruff, also known as ‘Short Dog,’ was without a permanent residence and was last seen frequenting areas near State Route 51 and Thomas Road in Phoenix.
Authorities urge anyone with relevant information to contact the Buckeye Police tipline at (623) 349-6411 or submit a tip online.
