2 women suspected in 2022 Colorado double homicide case arrested in Arizona by SWAT team

KINGMAN, Ariz. — Two women wanted in a Colorado double homicide case have been arrested in northwest Arizona, authorities said Wednesday.

Mohave County sheriff's officials said Toni Gurule, 43, and Suzzette Salyer, 42, remained jailed without bail while awaiting extradition.

They said the women were arrested by a SWAT team after a standoff Saturday at a home in Topock, a small community north of Lake Havasu City near the Arizona-California border.

Fremont County, Colorado, sheriff's officials said Gurule and Salyer were among three people indicted April 30 on two counts each of first-degree murder and kidnapping, and warrants for judgment was issued against them.

The charges stem from the deaths of Ryan Roth, 25, and Rodolfo Santillan-Reyes, 36, authorities said.

The bodies of the two men were discovered in February 2022 in a ravine in Phantom Canyon, about 40 miles southwest of Colorado Springs.

Colorado authorities said a third suspect in the case – a 45-year-old man – was arrested on homicide charges last month while in federal custody in Englewood on separate drug and alcohol charges. weapons.
