Susan and Jerry McFalls, both 62, were wintering at their Littlefield, Arizona home and expected to return to West Jordan, Utah. On January 11, 2018, Susan texted her daughter-in-law confirming travel plans for the coming weekend, but the couple did not appear as scheduled and were reported missing on January 21 after a week and a half without contact.

Deputies who checked the house found the vehicles on the property and a scene that suggested daily activity: music playing, the television on, and evidence that Susan had been preparing a meal. Phones, wallets, identification, medication and the couple’s pets were left behind. On October 15, 2018, two sets of human remains were found in a shallow grave near the Virgin River Gorge. One set was identified as Susan on October 18 through medical records and a medical device; Jerry’s remains were confirmed by DNA on January 30, 2020. The discoveries led investigators to treat the case as a double homicide.

Did anyone in the Littlefield area have contact or information about the McFalls the week of January 11, 2018?
