A quiet Gainesville, Georgia neighborhood was shaken in early December 2018 when 69-year-old Linda Arrington was found dead at her Skyview Drive home. Her husband discovered her on a Monday morning and called the Hall County Sheriff’s Office after it was clear her death was not from natural causes. An autopsy later confirmed Arrington had been fatally shot in the head.

Investigators focused quickly on someone close to the victim. Within a day, 54-year-old Robert Timothy Stargel was arrested without incident on Oak Brook Drive and booked into the Hall County Jail on a murder charge. The motive was not released to the public. The case later proceeded through the courts and resulted in a 20-year prison sentence for Stargel.

Neighbors described the family as deeply affected, and Arrington’s husband spoke about the lasting pain of finding his wife at the scene. If anyone knew Linda Arrington or has information about what led to this killing, please share what you remember.
