On Sunday, October 15, 2017, 52-year-old Judy Stanfill of Turner, Oregon, was found dead in her Ash Street home from a fatal gunshot wound. Her husband, 53-year-old Clayton Stanfill, arrived at the nearby Turner Fire Department with a gunshot wound to his face and was taken to a hospital. Deputies who checked the residence discovered Judy’s body.

Clayton initially told investigators Judy had shot herself and that his facial wound was a failed suicide attempt. Investigators later arrested him in connection with Judy’s death; he was first held on a probation violation tied to earlier assault and menacing charges. A grand jury indicted Clayton on a murder charge more than six weeks after the shooting, and court records note a history of domestic violence and that he was on probation for a prior domestic violence case involving Judy at the time of the incident.

Anyone who knew the Stanfills or who has information about events in Turner on October 15, 2017, is asked to come forward.
