On June 19, 1986, five-year-old Seleste Stanley was shot and killed in a remote area outside Cottonwood, Arizona. Stanley and his wife, Susan. Milo reportedly fatally shot Susan, then shot Seleste with a single gunshot; the couple’s one-year-old son was left physically unharmed.

Milo returned home after the killings and initially reported his wife and daughter missing. Family members later found bloodstains in his vehicle, and the day after making the missing persons report Milo confessed to the murders. He was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; the case resulted in convictions.

Does anyone have memories of Cottonwood in 1986 or information about the family that could shed more light on what happened?
