Driveway Argument Turns Into Murder/Suicide


"PAYSON, AZ — As horrified neighbors watched at about 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Thomas Easley, 70, murdered his wife in the driveway of a quiet Payson neighborhood, then turned the gun on himself.

"Easley died later at a Phoenix trauma center, but Payson Realtor Marjeane Easley died instantly in the garage of a house on Phoenix Street, where she had sought refuge in the midst of a bitter divorce from her husband of 15 years.

"Police declared Marjeane dead at the scene. Thomas was flown to Scottsdale Osborn Hospital where he died around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night.

"The Easleys were in the middle of a divorce after 15 years of marriage. Marjeane filed for divorce on Oct. 23 in Gila County Superior Court. Divorce papers show that the couple owned a home in Gisela, however, police say neither Marjeane nor Thomas were living there at the time of the shooting. Family members said the couple owed more money on the house than it was worth."

  1. Marjeane Easley - you can finally rest in peace safely in our Lord's loving hands. I did not know you but do feel the sadness that you suffered at the hands of your demonic husband. I wish your family love and hope during this sad, sad time. I'll see you some day. Jan Armbruster, also a realtor in Rim Country.
