Stacey Lee Gilbert, 57, was found dead in her Arcadia, Utah, home on September 21, 2023. Family remembered her as a skilled quilter, a devoted mother to sons Steven and Casey, and someone who cared for stray animals and people. A 911 call to Duchesne County reported a man saying he had killed his wife; deputies who responded discovered Stacey deceased in a bedroom with multiple gunshot wounds to her back and torso.

Stacey’s husband, 65-year-old Brent Nello Gilbert, was the caller and was located at the scene with self-inflicted knife wounds to his wrists. After treatment at Uintah Basin Medical Center he was booked into the Duchesne County Jail and charged with aggravated murder, a first-degree felony. Investigators found a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun leaning against a wall outside the bedroom, with the barrel containing blood and fibers matching the bedding, and three spent shotgun shell casings near her body.

Does anyone have information about Stacey’s life in Arcadia or about the day of September 21 that could help shed light on what happened?
