Audrey Booth, 70, of Pensacola, Florida, was killed inside her home on the evening of Sunday, July 28, 2024. Deputies were sent to her residence in the 900-block of Fremont Avenue after the Pensacola Police Department passed along a call from an out-of-state man who said his longtime friend Christopher Booth had confessed to killing his mother.

Deputies arrived about 8:30 p.m., observed bullet holes in the windows, and encountered Christopher Booth, 44, who at first said no one else was home. Inside they found Audrey dead in her bed with at least one gunshot wound and more than a dozen stab wounds. Investigators recovered an AR-15 rifle and a spent shell casing at the scene. The caller reported that Christopher told him he shot Audrey in the face, and when she didn’t die he stabbed her.

Christopher Booth was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; a not guilty plea was entered for him and he was being held without bond as of July 2024. Does anyone have information about Audrey’s life in Pensacola or about the days leading up to July 28?
