In the heat of a Monday afternoon on June 9, 2014, a grim discovery was made in a remote area of Surprise, Arizona. The remains of 57-year-old Lisa Baker, a female, were found alongside two other individuals, William “Billy” Kling and Garth Tuggle. The three victims had been shot and their bodies left inside a stolen vehicle, which was then set on fire.
The triple homicide, which took place near North 219th Avenue and West Sun Valley Parkway, sent shockwaves through the community.
Authorities launched an investigation into the brutal slayings, but the case proved to be complex and challenging. Over the years, the trail for the unknown suspect or suspects grew cold, leaving the families of the victims without answers and justice.
To this day, the case remains an unsolved cold case. Law enforcement officials have periodically renewed calls for public assistance, hoping that someone will come forward with information that could lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. Despite the passage of time, the search for who was responsible for the deaths of Lisa Baker, William Kling, and Garth Tuggle continues.
