Fulton County, AR. – In July of 2022, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office experienced the loss of an employee who was found shot and dead near her home. Two individuals have been arrested on Monday, January 23rd after months of investigation.
The victim was Kristy Taylor, 57. She was found in the driveway of her home with an apparent gunshot wound to the head and a single spent .380 casing nearby.
Arrested individuals include John Taylor, the victim’s estranged husband, and his work associate, Tommy Sanches. Tommy and John were the last individuals to see Kristy alive, and had alleged stories conflicting with the evidence that was revealed in the investigation.
In addition, witness testimony is on-record stating John Taylor has offered a $5,000 reward to a third-party to kill his wife and her dog, Blue, in order to avoid losing in the divorce Kristy had filed for in the month leading to her death.
John Taylor is being held in the Baxter County Jail and Tommy Sanches is currently being extradited from Texas to face charges.
