On May 18, 2001, in Phoenix, Arizona, 25-year-old Charles Findley was shot dead in his home on East Roberts Road. His girlfriend, Tanya Ramsdell, who was five months pregnant, was also shot and killed. An acquaintance, Tracy Allen Hampton, who had been living with the couple, returned to the house after a period of methamphetamine use and an argument with Findley, found Findley kneeling on the floor and shot him in the forehead, then went to the bedroom and shot Ramsdell in the head.

Two days before the killings, Department of Public Safety officers had visited the residence to serve Hampton a traffic ticket; Findley provided a photograph to identify Hampton in Hampton’s absence, and Hampton later perceived that as a betrayal. Hampton was arrested on May 31, 2001, and while jailed awaiting trial he confessed the killings to a fellow inmate, saying he believed Findley had been a rat and that Ramsdell’s unborn child had a Black father; his reported white supremacist beliefs factored into his stated motive.

Convictions followed for the deaths of Findley and Ramsdell and for the unborn child’s death. Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or details about the victims that could add context to what happened?
