On June 7, 2015 neighbors in Sunset Hills, Missouri entered the home of 86-year-old Terry Ruth Tobey after becoming concerned; they found her deceased in her bedroom. Tobey, who lived alone with her dog on Bradford Woods Drive, had not been seen since the morning of June 4, 2015, and a neighbor had noticed her garbage can had not been brought in after collection.

An autopsy confirmed Tobey died from a gunshot wound and her death was ruled a homicide. Investigators say 67-year-old Mark Douglas Patton, who rented property from Tobey, entered her home on June 4, forced her to write a check at gunpoint and then fatally shot her. Patton was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and two counts of armed criminal action; bond was set at $500,000.

Patton’s record included a 35-year sentence for a violent kidnapping and assault in the late 1960s from which he was paroled after serving under 10 years, plus repeated parole violations and an outstanding bond for felony theft in a neighboring county at the time of Tobey’s killing.

Did anyone in Sunset Hills know Tobey well enough to add details about her last contacts or routines?
