In the quiet community of Coyote Springs in Prescott Valley, Arizona, the morning of May 29, 2023, brought a grim discovery that shattered the neighborhood's tranquility. Fifty-eight-year-old Grant Griffiths, a local landscaping business owner known for his generosity, was found deceased in his home on Spurr Lane. Investigators with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office were soon on the scene, and it became evident that this was no accidental death; they were dealing with a homicide.
It is believed that the fatal events transpired on the evening of May 28, 2023.
The details that emerged painted a disturbing picture of the final moments of Grant Griffiths's life. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, and in a sinister attempt to conceal the crime, a fire was intentionally set in his room after his death. An accelerant was discovered on his bed, confirming that the blaze was no accident and that Griffiths had already passed away before it was started, as there was no smoke found in his lungs. The man who often opened his home to those in need, providing a place to stay for church members and his own workers, had met a violent end in the very place he offered sanctuary.
The investigation into the murder of Grant Griffiths remains active, with authorities seeking answers and justice for his family. Detectives have publicly identified Robin Mark Consylman, a 58-year-old acquaintance of Griffiths, as a person of interest—a possible witness who may hold crucial information about the case. The victim's daughter has expressed her own suspicions about Consylman, who had previously lived with her father and had reportedly been acting strangely. Despite their efforts, no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide. A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered by Yavapai Silent Witness for any information that leads to an arrest, as a daughter and a community continue to wait for the person or persons responsible for this tragedy to be brought to justice.
