Maria Rocio Pasillas, 38, was found dead on July 20, 2017, in Burley, Idaho, in a basement that doubled as her family’s business and home. A family member discovered the scene and notified authorities. Investigators concluded the deaths were a murder-suicide: evidence and autopsy results indicate Maria was shot once with a 9mm handgun by her husband, 43-year-old Felipe Caldera Pasillas, who then died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound with the same weapon.

Local investigators reported a domestic dispute likely preceded the killings. With Felipe identified as the sole suspect and also deceased, the active investigation was subsequently closed. The community was left reeling by the violence and its impact on the family.

If anyone knew Maria or has information about the events leading up to July 20, 2017, please come forward.
