Dale Harrell case and 2014 verdict ↗Browse the years represented in the current directory. These are counts of records documented on this site, not official annual Gilbert homicide totals.
This directory includes information requests, reported arrests, documented convictions and murder-suicides. Each record attributes its status to the linked reporting; an older information request does not independently establish current case status. These 14 victim records are not a count of all Gilbert homicides or cold cases.
Records draw on public case narratives, attributed news reporting and linked historical references. Dates describe an incident or discovery, with distinctions explained in the record. Counts refer to victims, not separate incidents. Approximate map pins describe areas; records without sufficiently verified locations remain searchable without pins.
No. This is an expanding source-backed directory. Gilbert is a large city with decades of homicide records, and historical cases can be difficult to identify online. The page does not claim that the current count equals the official number of Gilbert homicides.
No. Pins are rough area estimates, not verified crime-scene coordinates. Records without a sufficiently checked location remain searchable without a map pin.
Homicide means one person caused another person’s death. Murder is a criminal legal classification. Case cards preserve distinctions such as homicide investigation, murder charge, conviction, unsolved case and murder-suicide rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Sources are linked on each card and include Silent Witness, news reports and historical references. Charges are distinguished from convictions, and status reflects the dated source rather than a fresh court docket check. Additions require supported victim identity, date, municipal location and homicide classification.
