On the morning of February 21, 2006, a rental home in the gated Barrington Estates community of Mesa, Arizona, was the scene of a mass shooting. Five people were found shot to death in what investigators described as an execution-style attack. Among the victims was 32-year-old Tammy Lee Morehart Lovell, who was located with three gunshot wounds to her head. Also killed were her children, 15-year-old Cassandra Lovell and 10-year-old Jacob Lovell; Jacob had been shot in the forehead and also showed signs of blunt force trauma. The other victims were Tammy’s live-in boyfriend, 30-year-old Steven Duffy II, and his 18-year-old brother, Shane Duffy.

Investigators focused on William Craig Miller, a former employer of Tammy and Steven, after learning he had motive tied to an earlier arson and insurance-fraud investigation. Prosecutors said Miller had feared Tammy and Steven would testify against him for a November 2005 house fire in Scottsdale. Miller was arrested in March 2006 on five counts of first-degree murder, burglary and multiple counts of solicitation to commit murder; investigators reported finding evidence linking him to the scene and that three different firearms had been used. A jury later found Miller guilty on all counts and imposed death sentences for each murder.

Does anyone have information about Tammy, her children, or the household in Barrington Estates that could add detail to what happened that night?
