Judy Barnes, 62, was shot to death on August 23, 1998, in Scottsdale, Arizona. State domestic-violence fatality records list her among that year’s victims, confirm the use of a firearm, and record that three children were left behind. Those records identify the accused person’s relationship to the victim as husband, and remembrance projects and memorial pages repeat that her killing is treated as a domestic-violence homicide.

None of those publicly viewable items provides the accused husband’s name, details of the investigation, or whether anyone was arrested, charged, or convicted. Many personal details about Judy’s life and the case’s legal resolution remain undocumented in the open record.

If anyone knew Judy, her family, or has information about the events in Scottsdale on August 23, 1998, please share what is known.
