Lehi Couple Reported Missing Found Dead
FRUITLAND, UTAH — APRIL 13, 2015 (GEPHARDT DAILY) A couple reported missing Saturday were found deceased in what appears to be an apparent murder-suicide.
Milinda Wright, 36, and Jimmy Wright, 45, of Lehi, both were found dead with gunshot wounds.
According to Duchesne County Sheriff’s Lt. Jeremy Curry, the last anyone had heard from them was Thursday morning.
“Around 8:00 p.m. Saturday, deputies went to the Fruitland home and found Milinda’s body with a gunshot wound to her head in the kitchen and the body of Jimmy in the living room with what appears to be a self inflicted gunshot wound to his head.” They found a 9 mm handgun nearby.
“This appears to be a murder suicide and we have no reason to believe there was any outside threat at this time,” said Curry.
Curry said based on evidence inside the home, including alcohol and no suicide note that they do not think this incident was premeditated.
The couple had only been married since July of 2014 and did not have any children together. Milinda however had twin girls and a son from a previous marriage.
