Family and friends of Arizona mother Kelly Paduchowski are speaking out after her husband admitted to her murder following a weeks-long search for her. Kelly’s twin sister, Lindsey McFall, expressed her deep appreciation for the love and support she has received during this difficult time. Kelly leaves behind two young children, ages 7 and 9, and a GoFundMe page has been set up to help support them with childcare costs and education expenses.
Daniel Paduchowski, Kelly’s husband, initially reported her missing but later confessed to police that he had killed her. He was arrested and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, concealment of a dead body, and possession of dangerous drugs. As part of the plea deal, he will serve a 16-year prison term in Arizona without the possibility of early release.

Community members have come together to show their support for Kelly’s family during this difficult time. The Coconino County District Attorney’s Office has stated that the investigation is ongoing, and no further information is currently available.

The community’s response to this tragedy highlights the strength of unity and compassion in times of grief. As the investigation continues, efforts to seek justice for Kelly and support her children will remain a priority for those involved.
