Nancy A. Newton, 82, was killed after a home invasion in a Phoenix neighborhood in the early morning of April 22, 2012. Living alone near 28th Street and Earl Drive, she was confronted and assaulted in her bedroom by an unknown intruder and was left severely injured. It took her more than an hour to reach a phone; she was hospitalized and died of her injuries on April 26, 2012, with the Medical Examiner finding the trauma sustained in the assault contributed to her death.

No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. Phoenix police circulated a photograph of a man seen near Newton’s home around the time of the attack; investigators say he may have information but he has not been publicly identified as a suspect. Silent Witness has offered a reward for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Nancy, was in that neighborhood on April 22, 2012, or recognizes the person in the circulated photo, please share what can help this investigation.
