Now, 58-year-old Daniel Paduchowski has been arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault against his missing wife, Kelly Paduchowski, who may be a victim of homicide, the Flagstaff Police Department said in a July 2 news release and during a live press conference recorded by 3TV & CBS 5 News.

Police said they arrested her husband on suspicion of aggravated assault after interviewing family members and witnesses and processing evidence. He’s also a suspect in her homicide, police said during the conference.

Not that it wasn't obvious what they were thinking, now it's being said...

Police say based on current evidence and information, it’s believed Kelly may be the victim of a homicide.

Very specific phone details - note multiple trailheads and times now:

Flagstaff Police say cellphone data from 45-year-old Kelly Paduchowski’s phone placed her in the area of Schultz Creek Trail at around 10:20 a.m. Sunday Her husband, 58-year-old Daniel Paduchowski was seen in the same area at around 11:30 a.m.

Kelly’s phone returns back to the shared residence in the Coconino Estates neighborhood at around 12:13 p.m. Kelly’s white Mazda CX-5 and Daniel were seen at Campbell Mesa Trailhead at around 1:30 p.m.

Daniel reported Kelly missing at 7:39 p.m., possibly in the area of Lake Mary.

 
So she is at a different trailhead on Sunday am, where her husband is seen an hour later. Then her phone is back at home an hour later and an hour after than, husband and her car are at a different trailhead. Lots of time to fill in her activities, and his too.

No mention of where her phone is after 12:13, and possibly neither she nor her phone are at the trailhead where car found.

Did husband make a false police report of her missing at 7:39pm when he was seen at the second trail where car was found and him with it at 1:30?

Sounds like she was left somewhere near Schultz Creek Trail and her phone taken and brought back to the house.
 
Looks like Schultz Creek Trailhead and Campbell Mesa Trailhead are about 5 miles apart, on completely different sides of the interstate freeway. They do not connect with each other in any way. Lake Mary is about 10 miles SE of the Campbell Mesa trailhead and even farther from Schultz Creek Trail.

It looks very much like Campbell Mesa Trailhead is an intentional misdirection, and Lake Mary is even more of an intentional misdirection. Hoping that LE can find her very soon.
 
A few highlights from the very brief pressor today.
  • On 6/30/24, Cell phone data from Kelly's phone placed her in the Shultz Creek Trail around 10:20 AM
  • Daniel-husband was observed in the same area around 11:30 AM on the same day
  • Kelly's phone returns back to the shared residence at 12:13 PM
  • Kelly's white mazada and Daniel were observed at Campbell Trail Mesa around 1:30 PM
  • Daniel reported Kelly missing that night at 7:39 PM in the area of Lake Mary
  • Witness statements and evidence located at the residence lead them to believe "something" occured
  • Husband is suspect in the homicide (reporter called it a homocide, LEO did not correct her)
  • Search for Kelly is still widespread

About
I am a Registered Architect who has been working in the West for the past 25 years. I moved to Flagstaff 15 years ago in order to expand my horizons from Sedona. I have been fortunate to be the Project Architect on projects such as the Lumberyard Taproom & Grille, the Criollo Latin Restaurant, and the Root Public House in downtown Flagstaff, AZ.

More recent experiences have taken me into work creating net-zero homes built from adobe bricks and rammed earth. We still practice more conventional construction systems like wood frame and concrete masonry, but have found the benefit of using earth based materials for their energy performance and their low embodied energy.

Specialties: Reducing electrical use through Solar PV design. Passive solar, custom residential design projects from 900 sq. ft to 4200 sq. ft. Adobe residences which are perfect and wonderfully affordable for our climate. Off-grid residential designs. Micro-breweries. Cool restaurants. single family residential projects. Educating the public through teaching passive & active solar design classes in college & university environments.

- According to FPD’s update Tuesday afternoon, data from Kelly Paduchowski's cellphone placed it in the area of Schultz Creek Trail around 10:20 a.m. on Sunday, and Daniel was observed in the same area around 11:30 a.m. that same day. Kelly's phone then returned back to their home in the Coconino Estates neighborhood around 12:13 p.m. Kelly's vehicle, a white Mazda CX-5, and Daniel were both observed at the Campbell Mesa trailhead around 1:30 p.m., and there are photos of Daniel at the trailhead.

- Daniel then reported Kelly missing at 7:39 p.m., claiming she was possibly in the area of Lake Mary.

- During the investigation over the past few days, FPD interviewed family members and witnesses, and processed evidence that led to Daniel’s arrest Monday night. According to the Coconino County Detention Facility’s daily logs, Daniel was booked into the jail at 10:07 p.m. Monday on charges of aggravated assault and dangerous drug possession/use.

Did anyone actually see Kelly the morning of 6/30/24? Did Daniel drive Kelly's car to Campbell Trail Mesa and ride his bike back to their home? Why show the photo of him on a bike?

What kind of "dangerous drug" was he found with/using?
 
UPDATE: Court documents reveal new details in the investigation into Kelly Paduchowski's disappearance. Kelly's husband was arrested Monday and booked in on several charges including, aggravated assault. Here are some key take aways from the documents:

- Police ultimately found blood in various places at the couple's home, including on the back patio with shoe impressions in blood
- Neighbors told police on Sunday morning they heard screams
- They also said they saw Kelly in the backyard with Daniel on top of her and then minutes later she was motionless
- Those neighbors then told police they saw Daniel's car backed into the garage (which is out of the ordinary)
- Police also found clothes in the trash
- When they attempted to interview Daniel there were marks on his hand and one on his knee ABC15 Arizona
 
Credit to @*LD* - thank you!

While authorities were speaking with Daniel at their residence, a drop of fresh blood was allegedly seen outside the garage door. A trash bin out for collection had a gray shirt, pants, and a hat that appeared to be Kelly's, along with a camera and flashlight.

Court paperwork states during the investigation, officials spoke to neighbors who heard multiple screams from a woman, including a woman yelling out "Daniel." When the neighbors looked into the Paduchowski's backyard, they reportedly saw Kelly lying face-down and motionless with Daniel on top of her.

A few minutes later, the neighbors saw Kelly lying on her side in the yard, motionless, and Daniel was not seen, according to court paperwork.

About an hour later, the neighbors reported seeing Daniel in his 2001 Toyota Sequoia in the garage, which they say is unusual for him, per documents.

After this, Daniel was reportedly seen watering the yard where Kelly was previously spotted, and a sprinkler was left running all day in that area.

What time did the neighbors see & hear all of this?!
Did they not call 911 at that time?

Look how close all the homes are? I'm just shocked no called 911. If they saw what they describe, I assume it was the morning of the day he reported her missing - 6/30/24?

 
Umm, not one neighbor thought to call 911, WTH?!!!!
I am astonished as well. Darn, that's pretty...unusual. Maybe they were scared of him and possible repercussions for calling the cops on him? Pure speculation, and imhoo. Were there previous DV call outs to their address? I can't find info on that. What a sad, sad situation.

I have the same question concerning the photo of the husband & bike. Is that a photo of him at the trail that day?

I'm calling 911, sorry. He'd have a few neighbors to choose from in terms of who made the call. What if Kelly's life could have been saved? Where were their kids while this was going on? Her FB page shows they have two.
