May she be remembered, as her faculty wishes, not for how she died, it for how she lived.

May he be forgotten. If he's a hothead, perhaps he'll rack up additional charges in prison and remain locked up for life. He's reckless and dangerous.

July 09
Now, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office is detailing what made the search for Kelly so difficult with evidence spread out.

It began on the East side of Flagstaff where Kelly’s car was found at the Campbell Mesa Trailhead, then cell data showed her phone was at the Schulz Creek Trail that same day, where Daniel told police they went bike riding.

Through the investigation, police moved farther west, searching the Snowbowl area before pictures taken in town by a passerby show Daniel and detectives at Kaspar and Route 66 on Friday. Flagstaff Police told us Daniel led them to evidence there.

Eventually on Friday, Kelly’s remains were found off Hart Prairie and N. Hwy 180, miles away from where the search began.

Flagstaff Police would not tell us if the murder weapon and Kelly’s cell phone were found at that Route 66 and Kaspar location, or even what the murder weapon was.

We are still waiting to learn more as to what a motive may have been, and what Kelly’s exact cause of death was.

*The Flagstaff Police Department has confirmed new details in the murder of Kelly Paduchowki, who was originally reported missing on June 30. Days after police and the Coconino County Attorney's Office announced her husband pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, ABC15 learned she was found miles from where the search began.

Police also confirmed Daniel Paduchowski took them to multiple areas during the search for evidence. The mystery into Kelly's disappearance started to unravel last week, as court documents revealed neighbors reported they heard screams and saw Kelly motionless in the backyard just hours before Daniel reported the 45-year-old missing

Part of the plea deal included that Daniel had to help lead police to not only to Kelly's body but also other pieces of evidence like her phone and keys.

On Tuesday, Flagstaff police confirmed the mother of two was ultimately found off of Hart Prairie and N. Hwy 180. But the search for evidence, police said, involved stops at other areas.

Police confirmed this picture was taken near Kasper and US Route 66. Police told ABC15 this is just one place where Daniel led law enforcement.

Thanks for posting this. I was curious about the sentencing, and found this in the article you posted:

“This sentence was the result of careful coordination between Kelly’s family, law enforcement, and the Coconino County Attorney’s Office. The main goals of this resolution were to recover Kelly, ensure the defendant stays in prison until Kelly’s children are grown, and avoid a trial that could prolong the family’s pain. While no sentence can ease the loss of Kelly, we hope the family can start healing now that the case is resolved.”

This explains the family was consulted, and they wanted him in prison until his children are adults... So sorry you were taken away from them, Kelly.

While I think it's a light sentence for taking the life of someone, I understand the wisdom of avoiding the trauma of a trial and keeping this guy away from the kids until they are grown. Makes me a little teary-eyed, actually, at seeing the thought that was put into this sentence.

Rest in peace, Kelly. The kids have people looking out of them.

Not nearly long enough but I understand the logic. He's going to find life much more difficult in prison. He won't be able to use his fists to win an argument. He'll probably try to keep a low profile and be an exemplary prisoner. Too bad he wasn't an exemplary husband.
