Shad Armstrong Is a Caucasian on death
row in the state of Arizona. They were convicted on 11/15/06.
Crime
According to the DOC, Armstrong and
two accomplices planned the murder of Armstrong's sister and
brother-in-law. They prepared by, among other things, hanging sheets
on the walls in Armstrong's trailer to absorb blood spatter, and
digging a pit in which to bury the bodies. Armstrong shot the victims
to death with a shotgun. After removing jewelry from the bodies and
rifling through the pockets of the victims' clothes, Armstrong and
David Doogan transported the corpses to the pit and buried them.
Armstrong then disposed of blood-spattered furniture and spent the
night of the murders at the victims' home. When he left, he took some
of their furniture to replace the discarded items. Armstrong and
Doogan returned to the vitims's apartment to steal their truck and
remove valuables, including the victims' two dogs. Armstrong fled
Arizona when police began investigating the victims' disappearance.
Doogan confessed and implicated Armstrong, who was arrested in
Oklahoma.
According to his appeal (see link below), Meanwhile, in late January 1998, Farrah and Williams visited Farrah's parents in Oklahoma. During this trip, Farrah indicated to her parents that she planned to marry Williams and she wanted to resolve her legal problems in Oklahoma so that she could move back to the state. Farrah asked her parents to ascertain whom she should contact, but before obtaining the information, Farrah and Williams left Oklahoma to return to Arizona. Farrah's mother called the apartment in Arizona and left the Oklahoma district attorney's phone number with Armstrong. Upon arriving home, Farrah shared with Medina her plans to turn herself in. Farrah told Medina that the only way she could achieve a fresh start was by going back to Oklahoma, turning herself in, and telling the authorities of Armstrong's whereabouts. Medina called Armstrong and told him of Farrah's plan to “turn him in for his warrants[,] to clean her slate, to get everything off her back.” Armstrong told Medina that he was “going to have to do something about it” because he did not want either of them to go to prison or lose their kids. Against this background, Armstrong began to lay plans to kill Farrah and Williams.
In early February 1998, Armstrong told David Doogan that Farrah had talked to him about turning herself in because she had been told that she would receive a break on the charges she was facing if she disclosed Armstrong's location. Armstrong told Doogan he felt Williams was influencing Farrah to turn herself in and that he intended to kill Williams in order to exert control over Farrah. Armstrong and Doogan then contrived a scheme to invite Williams over to work on Doogan's car and then shoot him while driving down the road. This plan was never pursued.
