A violent home invasion on December 1, 1999, ended the lives of Lance Rush and Ellen Franco in Phoenix area housing in Waddell. Jennifer Farley, who was living in the house with Rush and had taken in Franco after her separation, hid in a bedroom closet during the assault. When she emerged, she found Franco in a pool of blood and Rush conscious but bleeding in a guest bedroom.

Rush later told paramedics that someone had kicked the door and started shooting; both victims died of their injuries. The case went to trial, where the defendant was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder; at trial the defense attempted to blame Ellen Franco’s estranged husband, Larry Franco. Does anyone have additional information about the household, the timeline that night, or witnesses who saw activity near the house in Waddell?
