Norma Jay

Norma Jean Jay, a 59-year-old substitute schoolteacher and beautician, lived in relative solitude at her home in the 11400 block of South Cherokee Lane, near South Sierrita Mountain Road in the Three Points area west of Tucson.

In July 2006, when she was the victim of what sheriff's officials called a "very violent" homicide. Early the morning of July 17, 2006, a neighbor called 911 to report Jay's manufactured home was on fire. When firefighters extinguished the blaze, they found Jay's nude body lying on her bed. She'd been stabbed repeatedly. The fire likely was set to cover up the homicide.
