On July 17, 2016, 47-year-old Kristi Price Maxwell was found dead inside her Orangeville, Utah, home after her daughter asked authorities to perform a welfare check. Family members entered with a key accompanied by an Emery County deputy and discovered Kristi deceased in a bedroom; investigators estimated she had been dead several hours. In another part of the house, husband Richard Maxwell was found with a gunshot wound to his torso and was taken to a hospital after shooting himself once more as the deputy escorted family from the scene.

Richard Maxwell was named the sole person of interest but was not held after his hospital release. He died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on August 8, 2016. The Utah State Medical Examiner’s autopsy ruled Kristi’s death inconclusive, while noting that the body positioning and events during the welfare check are strongly suggestive that a homicidal act took place. With the only person of interest deceased, no arrest was made and the case was closed, leaving Kristi’s family seeking answers and disputing suggestions of suicide or overdose.

Did anyone in Orangeville in July 2016 see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
