Bodies of missing Phoenix-area couple are believed found

Michael Careccia, 44, and his wife, Tina, 42, have not been seen since they drove away from their house about 5 a.m. June 22. 

After the man's son reported them missing that night, authorities have gone door to door, launched air and ground searches, and used dogs to try to track their scent.

The couple's abandoned car was later found covered in dirt about a half-mile away from their home in Maricopa, about 35 miles south of Phoenix.
