Woman, 79, Charged with Murdering Stepdad 50 Years Ago, Accused of Using His House and His Retirement Benefits.
A 79-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of her stepfather, when she was 29. She is also accused of taking over and living in his home and collecting his retirement benefits.
Sipfle went missing at age 73, but his loved ones “never made a police report."
His family went without answers for five decades — until genealogy advancements allowed investigators to crack the cold case by linking human remains found at a waste transfer station in Pima County to Sipfle's family.
Carol Ann Beall, Sipfle's stepdaughter, entered the picture when investigators learned that she worked at a museum in the desert area where the remains were found.
The 79-year-old has been living in Sipfle's home for over 50 years using anywhere from $250,000 to $600,000 from his pension and Social Security benefits.
