An April 2016 home invasion in Salome, Arizona left three older visitors from Washington dead. On or around April 10, 2016, 81-year-old Alice Boyd of Bingen, Washington was one of three people found shot to death; the other victims were Lester Lindsay, 83, and his wife Ella, 76, both from Wenatchee, Washington. Investigators determined all three died from gunshot wounds.

Authorities focused on a suspect named Kitage Lynch after witnesses placed someone matching his description near the scene and a victim’s vehicle went missing. Lynch was located in Glendale, Arizona in possession of that vehicle and a gun taken from the victims’ homes, and a confrontation with police there resulted in a shootout and his arrest. A grand jury later indicted Lynch on three counts of first-degree murder plus burglary and theft, but a judge dismissed the murder counts because the prosecution was unprepared to proceed to trial, citing delays such as untested DNA evidence. Lynch was serving a 15-year sentence for aggravated assault and other charges related to the Glendale shootout.

Did anyone in the community know Boyd, Lindsay, or the missing vehicle’s movements around Salome in April 2016?
