Checking Out In A Body Bag


"GILBERT, AZ – A woman and her boyfriend were found dead on the Fourth of July in what could be a murder suicide.

"Police in Gilbert were called to the Hampton Inn at 3265 S. Market Street on July 4 at about 1:30 p.m. When officers arrived, they found 32-year-old Cynthia Townley dead from a gunshot wound.

"The investigation led officers to a home in the area near Queen Creek and Cooper Road in Chandler. Officers discovered Townley’s 36-year-old boyfriend dead in the backyard of his house on Monday morning. He died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

"Staff at the Hampton Inn called police when a housekeeper found Townley’s body in one of the rooms. Police have determined she was a victim of homicide.

"Police say Townley and her boyfriend checked into the hotel room about one week ago.

"Detectives say Townley was killed between the night of July 3 and the afternoon of July 4.

"The boyfriend’s name will not be released by police until they can notify his family. This investigation remains ongoing."

  1. I feel extremely bad for Cynthia Townley. I can never understand why one would feel the need to murder another human being. I cannot and will not ever understand this. Something obviously went very bad to drive someone to murder another human being. I spoke with people that I had met at the bark park that knew her. It is a very small world. I wouldnt exactly consider the two "boyfriend and girlfriend" however; It is my understanding by a few of her neighbors that when she would see my fiance who parks his semi truck near her apartment that it was an ongoing joke that she would call my fiance her boyfriend and would parade around her apartment naked in hopes of drawing his attention. Why would someone in a relationship act out like this? Obviously, the relationship between her and her boyfriend was not that solid or she would not have behaved that way. Although, this is NO EXCUSE for murder. Their is no excuse for murder.
