On October 15, 2015, 28-year-old Jacqueline Monique Catano was found dead in her Phoenix apartment near 30th Street and Roosevelt. Her three children, all under ten, were inside the home but were not physically harmed. The initial scene was bloody enough that officers were unsure whether she had been shot or beaten when they arrived.

Jacqueline’s husband called 9-1-1 after hearing a noise and reported finding his wife’s body in the kitchen, and he told police a stranger who had knocked earlier that evening might have returned. Investigators later arrested 26-year-old Vanessa A. Bedell and say evidence tied to the homicide was found in Bedell’s possession; police allege Bedell shot and killed Jacqueline and booked her on a charge of second-degree murder. The motive was reported as under investigation.

If anyone knew Jacqueline, her movements that day, or has information about what happened at the apartment, please share what is known.
