Richard Oaks, 79, was found dead of a gunshot wound on March 7, 2023, inside the couple’s recreational vehicle at Cuervo Mountain RV Park in Stanley, near Moriarty, New Mexico. Deputies discovered him seated in a recliner with a fatal chest wound after a 911-related call from the family that morning.

Investigators say the shooting followed ongoing disputes over Oaks’ drinking. She was arrested at the scene and charged with an open count of murder, and prosecutors later moved to keep her detained pending trial.

Anyone who knew Richard or the couple, or who was at or near Cuervo Mountain RV Park on March 7, 2023, is asked to share information with investigators.
