Murder of Mary Ann Holmes

In 1995, 29-year-old Mary Ann Holmes was murdered in her home in Thatcher, Arizona. One of her daughters escaped and ran, naked and bound to tell her neighbor that her mother was murdered. Mary Holmes was found in her bathroom with her hands cuffed and her head bashed in. Investigators found that she was sexually assaulted after her death, while both her daughters were bound and forced to watch. In 2016, 53-year-old Phillip Turley was named a prime suspect though he wasn’t formally charged.
