Norene Hicks, 79, was found dead in Wellton, Arizona on June 2, 2011. Authorities treated her death as suspicious and the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation. Few details about the circumstances of her death have been released publicly, including how she died or whether there were any suspects.

The case remained open but unsolved, with no publicly announced arrests and no names of potential suspects released. The investigation is one of the few active homicide matters from that time in the small desert community, and the lack of information left residents with unanswered questions.

If anyone knew Norene Hicks or has information about what happened in Wellton on June 2, 2011, please come forward.
