The latimes.com website reported in a story on February 11, 2009 that police announced that the two workers from Stanton mobile home sales were indeed shot to death at work last week. Matthew Frances Scott, 42 a salesman for the company from Costa Mesa, and Elizabeth Palmer, 49 secretary for the company from Fountain Valley were shot in the upper torso behind a desk at work in this violent crime in California.

Jim Amormino, Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson said, “We believe this is not a random act.”

Palmer’s husband, Richard Palmer, who spoke and texted with his wife just before the murder said, “It must have been just before. It was just a normal, boring day at work.”

Palmer’s stepdaughter said, “Their love was the envy of everybody. Our plea goes out to the person that knows who did this.”

Investigator Joe Hoskins said that no signs of forced entry or a struggle were found. The suspect is believed to have fled the crime scene in Palmer’s white 2004 Lexus ES 300 with license plates 5FYP194.
