Flagstaff PD Sgt. Jerry Rintala says that Daniel Paduchowski, 58, is suspected in the death of his wife, Kelly Paduchowski, 45. He reported her missing at 7:39 PM on Sunday 30 Jun 2024. He said that she had gone out to run and swim
in the afternoon. He was arrested after detectives found undisclosed evidence (blood drop?) at the Flagstaff-area residence where they both live.
Sgt. Jerry Rintala, Flagstaff PD, said that with further investigation and evidence, additional charges could be added.
Kelly Paduchowski's phone was tracked to Schultz Creek Trail in Coconino National Forest, just North of Flagstaff. The time indicated: 10:20 AM on Sun., 30 Jun 2024. Her husband, Daniel Paduchowski, was spotted in the area a little more than an hour later [approx. 11:25 AM?].
Shortly after 12 Noon on Sun., 30 Jun 2024, Kelly's phone indicated it was at the home she shared with her husband.
At 1:30 PM on Sun., 30 June 2024, her vehicle -- a white 2018 Mazda CX-5 -- was at the Campbell Mesa Trailhead, also in the Coconino National Forest North of Flagstaff, AZ. Daniel Paduchowski was spotted there at that time.
Daniel Paduchowski drives a silver (or gray) 2001 Toyota Sequoia SUV.
My comments: A highly successful architect driving a 23-year-old vehicle -- I don't think this would be his first choice -- unless he can't afford anything newer! We know he's a hothead -- currently behind bars after having been arrested on aggravated assault charges -- and is apparently an aggressive driver (following too closely?), but does he also have other serious legal/civil/financial difficulties? Further, I ask whether Kelly Paduchowski is covered by a life insurance policy -- where he is the beneficiary? In addition, he seems to have done a lot of projects dealing with bars and restaurants. I wonder if he drinks much. (That's a rhetorical question). I saw in one of the posts above that "dangerous drugs" may have been connected to him as well.
I haven't read the entire thread yet, so feel free to correct anything I've gotten wrong here.
