Sheriff: Suicide Note Was Written By Woman

Associated Press

Test results show that a Rigby woman found shot to death in her home Dec. 29 with her two sons and a family friend wrote what authorities called a suicide note found near her body.

A handwriting analysis shows that Mary Myers, 44, wrote the note, and her fingerprints were found on the paper, Jefferson County Sheriff Blair Olsen said Wednesday.

Her fingerprints were found on a .22-caliber pistol she was holding.

Myers was found dead Dec. 30 in the basement of her home with her two sons, Anthony Lewis Rice, 20, and Keith Alan Rice, 16, and Christine Danielson, 17.

Myers filed for divorce a day before investigators think she died, and she sought a restraining order Dec. 27 against her husband, Tom Myers.
