Charlene Charlie Babcock was 38 when she and her husband Joseph Joe Babcock, 47, were shot and killed on August 25, 1994. The couple lived east of Kingman in Mohave County, Arizona. They had stopped to help two men whose vehicle was stuck in the sand near their home, but the men—brothers James and Ronald L. Nicklasson—shot and killed the Babcocks and stole their pickup truck.

The brothers were already implicated in violent crime before the Arizona killings, including an earlier abduction and murder of a man in Missouri. After the attack on the Babcocks the brothers continued a cross‑state crime spree that extended into Mexico and left additional victims. The Nicklasson brothers were captured and tried for those crimes.

If anyone knew the Babcocks, saw them on August 25, 1994, or has information about the events leading up to that night, please share what is known.
