Rocky V. Linzalone was 74 and bedbound after a series of strokes when he was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head in the couple’s Middletown, New Jersey, home on December 13, 2021. His wife, Michele Linzalone, called 911 that morning and told dispatch she had accidentally shot him. Paramedics pronounced Rocky dead at the scene.

Investigators moved quickly from the initial account of an accidental discharge to treat the death as a deliberate act. Investigators cited internet searches on Michele’s phone made 22 minutes before the 911 call — including queries about whether a gunshot to the head kills instantly and what it feels like — and noted Michele said she had waited up to 30 minutes before calling for help because she was in shock and had dressed and brushed her teeth. Those findings led to Michele’s arrest on charges including first-degree murder and second-degree weapons violations; she was held without bail.

Does anyone have information about the Linzalones, their home on Borden Road, or the days before December 13, 2021 that could help clarify what happened?
