According to the Trenton Police Department 53-year-old Rebecca Taul of Trenton Missouri has been identified by the Grundy County Coroner’s Office as the woman firefighters found dead in a burning house fire Sunday.
Trenton Chief of Police Tommy Wright said on the department’s Facebook page Wednesday that Taul’s next of kin have been notified.
Taul was found with multiple gunshot wounds from a small-caliber handgun which she received before the fire was set in the 600 block of Grundy Street.
As we previously reported, Monday night a standoff came to a close at a home near McFall, Missouri when law enforcement officials entered to find 50-year-old David M. Call of Kansas City Missouri dead from a self-inflected gunshot wound.
Call was a suspect in Taul’s death and had been charged Monday with murder, arson, armed criminal action and the abandonment of a corpse. A warrant had been issued for his arrest.
