PHOENIX – Three people killed in western Arizona have been identified as Washington residents.

The La Paz County Sheriff’s Office said Friday the victims included 83-year-old Lester Lindsay and 76-year-old Ella Lindsay, a married couple from Wenatchee. The third was identified as 81-year-old Alice Boyd, of Bingen.

A sheriff’s deputy investigating burglaries found the dead victims Sunday in two residences in a desert property that a sheriff’s spokesman has described as a getaway spot.

No arrest has been made in the killings, but authorities have called a Phoenix man arrested in a shooting incident Wednesday in a Phoenix suburb an investigative lead in the La Paz County case.

Police say the man had a car belonging to one of the victims and a gun stolen from the La Paz County location.
