MARY COLLIER OBITUARY: ARIZONA COMMUNITY REELS FROM SHOCKING MATRICIDE CASE
A devastating incident has unfolded in Arizona, where an 18-year-old allegedly murdered his mother, Mary Collier, and attempted to cover up the crime by reporting her as kidnapped. The disturbing case came to light when a local resident, James Richey, discovered Collier’s body in an open field near Hunt Highway and Bella Vista Road.
As law enforcement worked to identify the woman, a nearby 911 call reported a missing person, claiming Collier had been kidnapped. However, investigators quickly connected the two incidents, revealing inconsistencies in the teenager’s story.
Evidence suggested that Collier had willingly left the house with her son, but was brutally attacked and left in the remote field.
The authorities now believe that the son fabricated the kidnapping story to evade suspicion and are investigating him for first-degree murder. The motive behind the killing remains unclear, but the violent nature of the crime has left the community in shock.
Richey expressed disbelief and sorrow, struggling to understand how someone could harbor so much anger toward a parent.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed they are treating the case as a homicide and are working to uncover the suspect’s motives and mental state.
This tragic incident has garnered attention for its shocking nature and the calculated steps the suspect allegedly took to divert suspicion. The community is left to grapple with the devastating loss of Mary Collier and the unsettling revelation of her son’s alleged involvement in her death.
