On May 14, 1991, Jacqueline Jackie Appelhans, 60, and her partner Dean Morrison, 65, were found shot to death in their home next to the restaurant and store they owned in Grasshopper Junction, Arizona. A friend arriving for morning coffee found the restaurant door ajar, money scattered and the cash register missing, then discovered the couple lying face down in bathrobes in their nearby house. Both had been shot multiple times in the head.

Investigators reported a violent struggle, at least three firearms used (a shotgun, a .38, and a .22), and four sets of footprints — two belonging to the victims and two to assailants, one in tennis shoes and one in Western-style boots. A vehicle later stopped near Holbrook, Arizona, led to the arrest of brothers Robert and Roger Murray after a high-speed chase; weapons thrown from the car were matched to the Grasshopper Junction scene and other items tied them to the victims’ business. The brothers were charged, tried and convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and armed robbery and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of Grasshopper Junction in 1991 or information about the restaurant and store that might shed more light on what happened?
