Nora Ann Dimuria, 64, and her husband Michael were found dead in their Red Lake community home north of Williams, Arizona, on May 2, 2017. A neighbor discovered Michael’s body and alerted the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, which then located Nora inside the residence. Their home had been ransacked and their white 2006 Jeep Liberty was missing, so investigators treated the case as a double homicide.

Investigators identified a suspect, 29-year-old Derrick Shawn Barnett of Grand Junction, Colorado. The Dimurias’ stolen Jeep was recovered abandoned at a campground in Dove Creek, Colorado. Barnett was later spotted in another vehicle and taken into custody after a 30-mile high-speed pursuit involving Dolores and Montezuma County Sheriff’s deputies and the Colorado State Police. Property believed to be evidence in the case was recovered at the time of arrest, and a criminal complaint was filed charging Barnett with the murders, theft of a means of transportation, and misconduct with a weapon. He was initially held in Colorado while Coconino County sought extradition to Arizona.

Nora was remembered as a dedicated nurse who, with her husband, was known for kindness and a willingness to help others in their community. If anyone knew the Dimurias or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
