On May 26, 2015, 52-year-old Lisa M. Canfield was found dead at her Colbert, Washington home, one of three members of her household killed by gunshot wounds. Her husband, 59-year-old Terry Canfield, and her son, 23-year-old John Robert Constable, were also found dead. First responders had been called for what was reported as an illegal burn and discovered the house on fire, an apparently deliberate attempt to hide the killings.
Lisa was described as a devoted Christian, a caring mother and wife who enjoyed the outdoors, horses, fishing and time with family and animals. The investigation focused on Roy H. Murry, the estranged husband of Lisa’s daughter Amanda, who had been living with Lisa and Terry while he and Amanda were separating. Amanda, a nurse, was working a late shift the night of the murders and was not at home.
Roy Murry was arrested on May 30, 2015, charged with three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of arson. Reported injuries and other evidence led investigators to focus on him. What can anyone who knew Lisa or that family add to the record?
