On a March day in 2002, 60-year-old Jerry R. Taylor was practicing chip shots at the Fred Enke Golf Course in Tucson, Arizona, when a single long-range bullet ended his life. Investigators reported the body had been moved after the shooting and Taylor’s wallet was found near him with nothing taken, a detail that puzzled those handling the case.

The investigation later focused on Lee Boyd Malvo and John Allen Muhammad, the pair known as the D.C. Snipers, who had been in the Tucson area visiting Muhammad’s sister around the time of Taylor’s death. After their October 2002 arrest for shootings in the Washington, D.C., area, Malvo reportedly told authorities he had shot a senator on a golf course in Arizona; in October 2006 Tucson detectives interviewed Malvo in Maryland and he confessed to shooting Jerry Taylor. The confession has not been accompanied by definitive evidence tying Muhammad and Malvo conclusively to the killing.

Did anyone who played at Fred Enke Golf Course in March 2002 notice anything unusual or see a distant shooter that day?
