Danielle Finnicum, a 52-year-old female from Cody, Wyoming, was found dead on Thursday, June 11, 2026, inside a home in the Valley View subdivision in southwest Cody. Police identified her as the wife of 63-year-old Gary Finnicum, who was also found dead at the residence. Authorities said officers went to the home on South Fork Street for a welfare check, and what began as a check on the couple quickly became a death investigation after both were discovered deceased.
Investigators later
said both Danielle and Gary Finnicum died from gunshot wounds. The deaths shook the quiet residential area, but Cody police said early in the investigation that they did not believe there was any continuing danger to the public. Detectives were still processing evidence, and autopsies were scheduled for Monday, June 15, 2026, while investigators awaited forensic results.
No arrests were reported in connection with Danielle Finnicum’s death. Cody police said they were not seeking a suspect, and later reporting described the deaths as an apparent murder-suicide. Authorities did not publicly release a detailed sequence of events or formally identify who fired the fatal shots in the available reports, leaving the case described as active while forensic examinations continued.
As of the available online reporting, there were no charges, no court proceedings, and no trial connected to the deaths of Danielle and Gary Finnicum. The public details remained limited to the welfare check, the discovery of the married couple inside their Cody home, the confirmation that both died of gunshot wounds, and investigators’ statement that they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the case.
