Janet Colleen Goode, a 57-year-old White woman, was fatally shot on July 10, 2014, in Parowan, Utah. Police found her body in the driveway of a residence at 272 S. 800 West after a report of shots fired around 12:30 p.m.; she had a single gunshot wound to the chest.

The investigation led to the arrest of her 83-year-old stepfather, Nathan C. Zimmerman. According to court documents, Zimmerman confessed, saying he picked up a preloaded shotgun, took the safety off and intentionally shot Janet as she walked toward his house. He reportedly expressed no remorse and later claimed the shooting was over financial disputes; authorities were also looking into a divorce filing by Janet’s mother that occurred that same day as a possible factor.

Zimmerman was charged with first-degree murder and pleaded guilty. In November 2014 a judge sentenced him to 15 years to life for the killing. Does anyone have additional information about Janet’s life in Parowan or the circumstances that led to that day?
