Bombshell new video footage has provided crucial details in the investigation of a 2021 cold case murder in Phoenix, Arizona.
Four years ago, the dead body of Alisha Marie Hale, also known as Alisha Bellotte, was discovered in a secluded desert area near Interstate 10 and Baseline Road.
Hale, a 34-year-old mother-of-five, was found on June 3 at around 9am with a gunshot wound. It was later determined by investigators that the crime took place the day prior.
Earlier this week, Arizona police released chilling video of the last time Hale was seen.
In the footage, which was gathered from several different surveillance cameras and provided multiple angles, Hale can be seen driving with an unknown individual.
A silver Dodge RAM truck is videoed flooring it down a dirt canal road. Then, moments later, two individuals exit the vehicle.
One figure is thought to be Hale, and the other an unknown male in the range of 5'9 to 6 feet tall.
The footage is blurry and hard to make out, but the two figures appear to chat for a bit upon exiting the vehicle.
Then, they walk out of the camera's view and about two minutes later, only the male driver returns.
Cameras captured footage of the truck speeding away immediately after, and a day later Hale's body was found.
No suspects have been identified yet, and investigators are continuing to look for information about the case.
The Phoenix Police Department are desperately imploring people to come forward if they know anything.
'We are not going to stop. We are going to continue looking for this person,' said Sgt. Brian Bower with Phoenix Police
Along with the new video, investigators have released other details of the murder - including what Hale was last wearing, a long-sleeved dress with black and white stripes.
'We know what happened, we just would like to know why,' Detective Kevin Ham of the Phoenix Police Department said.
'Sometimes people that didn't wanna come forward in the past, feel more comfortable coming forward now,' Ham continued.
A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered for information.
Hale was also known by her married name, Alisha Marie Bellotte.

According to her Facebook account, she attended Maryvale High School, northwest of downtown Phoenix, and graduated in 2005.
Her obituary shares that Hale was born on February 15, 1987 in Phoenix to Melissa Smith and the late David Hale, but that she was raised by Dale Scott, 'the best Dad any child could ask for'.
'Alisha loved her family, music and dancing. She was a licensed Phlebotomist. She loved with all her heart. Alisha will always be loved and remembered for her passion for life and unconditional love she had for family,' the obituary continued.
Hale was also a mother to five children - Emma, Chris, Natalie, Corbyn and Conner, according to her obituary.
