A 27-year-old man named Matthew Flores has reportedly fled the country after the bodies of his missing parents were discovered buried in the backyard of a property in Arizona. The case centres on the suspicious deaths of the two parents, whose disappearance had prompted a police investigation before their remains were found on the family's own land.

Authorities are understood to be treating the case as a criminal investigation, with Flores now believed to have left the United States before he could be questioned or arrested. Details of the discovery, the timeline of his parents' disappearance and the specifics of any international manhunt have not been fully confirmed in available reporting.
