Abandon Property After Move-out (AZ)

I have a tenant who's lease expired at the end of May. We didn't see eye-to-eye on a few things towards the end so we both agreed to end the lease in writing earlier than the required 60 days notice (It was a month-to-month with 60 days notice).

She was a no-show on move out day and basically left the keys locked in the house and said she had a few items to still pickup and/or through away. We have left voicemails and left multiple text messages about the items with no response. 

Is there considered abandon property similar to an eviction and/or tenant just disappearing? The lease has legally expired.

I have taken pictures of what was left. Most of it was clothes/junk put in giant trash bags (about 15 bags). I assume it was meant to be trash but it could have been her way of packing for the move too. The only item of significance is an old style stereo cabinet that has a built in record player, speakers, etc. with a record collection (about 20 records). I have no idea if it works.

Do I need to store these items and if so for how long? I have no idea her new address and she won't respond to multiple phone calls and txt messages (Which is always her preferred method).
