When private investigator Taylor Wright went missing in 2017, none of her loved ones suspected that the person responsible would be one of their own.

A pleasant Michigan day takes a dark turn when a field hand digs up a human skull in a sprawling backyard years after 15-year-old Harrison resident Randy Laufer vanished. The discovery leaves a tight-knit community shaken to its core and questioning whether a killer has penetrated the safety of their town. The fate of a private investigator who went missing in Pensacola, Florida in 2017 proved to an entire community that sometimes, you can’t always trust your friends. On Sept. 8, 2017, Taylor Wright, a 33-year-old recently-divorced private investigator, was enjoying life with her girlfriend, Casandra Waller. The two had just moved in together and everything was going well, despite the stressful divorce proceedings that Taylor was going through with her ex- husband. That day, Taylor went out with a friend, Ashley McArthur, in the hopes of relieving some of the stress, but it was a decision that proved to change not only her life, but also the lives of everyone around her. "That was the last time that I ever saw Taylor," Waller told “Buried in the Backyard,” airing Thursdays at 8/7c on Oxygen . As the day progressed, Waller lost contact with Taylor when she stopped responding to her text messages. She contacted Ashley, who said that Taylor had been stressed and crying throughout the day and needed time to herself. Things got even more strange when Taylor seemingly bailed on dinner plans with her girlfriend, telling Waller via text that she needed a few days to clear her head. Waller knew that Taylor, as a private investigator, had the means and skills to disappear, and she grew worried. "I don't have any clue what's going on. I just know that something's not right. I was scared,” Waller recalled. Taylor's loved ones were also concerned because it was out of character for her to just disappear, especially without first contacting her young son. Waller then went to the police, who suggested that she reach out to Taylor's ex-husband, Jeff Wright, to investigate further on her own. Jeff told Waller that their son had also been trying to reach out to Taylor, but he had not gotten any response. He then issued a startling warning, telling Waller that Taylor may get angry with her for involving the police in her business and that she should be careful. Disturbed, Waller continued to search for her girlfriend and began calling hospitals in the area. After a week passed with no sign of Taylor, Waller filed a missing person’s report, and authorities began an investigation. They wasted no time speaking with Waller, and when her story checked out, they reached out to Ashley, who was the last person among Taylor's friends to see her before she vanished. Speaking with the authorities, Ashley recalled that Taylor still seemed stressed at the end of their meeting and that she had gotten into an Uber to go get a drink. She also, however, revealed new information: Weeks earlier, Taylor had taken $34,000 out of a joint account that she shared with her ex-husband and had given it to Ashley to keep safe during the divorce proceedings. Even more shockingly, she said that on the day of their meeting, Taylor had picked up the money, put it in a duffel bag, and had taken it with her. Authorities reached out to Taylor's ex-husband, who lived in North Carolina, to try to get to the bottom of what was going on. He claimed that he hadn't heard from his ex-wife since Sept. 9, when she sent him a text message. Authorities, however, focused on the fact that Jeff and Taylor were allegedly in the midst of a contentious custody battle. "Taylor was 110 percent absolutely bothered by the fact that she didn't have custody of her son," Waller recalled. "She was fighting that." Jeff, who was in the military and had since remarried, told investigators that he was out of town when his ex-wife disappeared, and his alibi checked out. Investigators then made their way to Ashley’s house — the last place Taylor was known to have visited before vanishing. Ashley's husband, Zach McArthur, said he had no idea where Taylor had gone, and an initial search of the house yielded nothing strange. Ashley soon dropped a bombshell on investigators, however, claiming Taylor had had an affair with a woman in another town while she was seeing Waller, and that the couple had argued about it in the past. That was enough for investigators to search Waller's residence for any signs of foul play. They found Taylor's ID, passport, money, and — shockingly — a revolver that was missing a bullet. "That piqued my curiosity really fast," Chad Willhite, an investigator in Pensacola, told producers. During an interview with investigators, Waller said that she had purchased the gun after Jeff told her that Taylor had gotten violent with him in the past. While weeks passed and Taylor failed to appear, a break in the case was not made until investigators were finally granted access to Taylor's phone records. Within them, they discovered that Ashley's story of where she and Taylor had been on the day she vanished did not match up with where the phone records placed them. Authorities zeroed in on Ashley and began searching her and her husband's bank and phone records. They soon learned that on the day that Taylor was last seen alive, Ashley had made numerous calls from another property owned by the McArthurs in a different part of town than where Ashley originally claimed to have been. Additionally, authorities learned that Ashley had deposited Taylor's $34,000 check into her bank account. While records showed that Zach was not in the area on the day of Taylor's disappearance, suspicion toward Ashley continued to grow. Authorities were able to obtain a search warrant for three different properties owned by the McArthurs, and on the day that they planned to execute the warrants, they invited Ashley down to the station for an interview to keep her out of the way. While Ashley denied having anything to do with Taylor's disappearance, a search team combed the farm where, phone records showed, Ashley and Taylor had been together on the day that she went missing. They initially turned up empty-handed, and investigators were forced to release Ashley. Those who continued to search the farm in question, however, soon came across a disturbing discovery: a human skull with a bullet hole. Investigators began extracting the body and found a necklace that they had seen Taylor wearing in a photo. "My gut told me at that point that it was going to be Taylor," Bridgette Jensen, a lead prosecutor in Wright’s case, told producers. Jensen’s suspicions were correct: Dental records later proved it was Taylor's body. Around a month after her disappearance, Taylor had finally been found, and Ashley, who still denied any wrongdoing, was arrested for first-degree premeditated murder. For Taylor's loved ones, the news that she had been found dead and that Ashley — a dear friend — had been arrested for her murder was devastating. "I couldn't believe it . I lost it. It was hard, it was emotional," Waller told producers. Ashley stood trial for Taylor's murder two years later, and prosecutors laid out the series of events to a packed courtroom: On Sept. 8, 2017, Taylor told Ashley that she needed the $34,000 check back, but by then, Ashley had already used the money to pay off her credit cards and buy a motorcycle. Still, Ashley picked up Taylor under the guise of going to the bank, but she likely made up a story about needing to stop by the farm, where Taylor’s body would later be found. It was there that Ashley shot her friend in the back of the head, prosecutors claimed, and then buried her body underneath potting soil and concrete. She then used Taylor's phone to send messages to people in order to make it look as if Taylor was still alive. As a former crime scene technician, Ashley knew exactly how to cover her tracks. After a four-day trial, a jury found Ashley guilty, and a judge sentenced her to life in prison with a mandatory 25 years served. "We got the verdict we had been waiting for for two years. We finally got the justice that Taylor deserved," Waller said. Still, the pain caused by Ashley's actions was immeasurable. "I never saw it coming, and that's what's scary," Waller recalled. "She knew what she did, and the whole entire time, she was pretending to be my friend. Ashley took somebody that I loved." Ashley Moody, Florida tax collectors team up to fight crime. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody rolled out a new alliance with the state’s tax collectors in Jacksonville Wednesday. A media release from the Moody’s office noted that “beginning today, information and resources about important statewide crime-fighting and prevention initiatives, including combating human trafficking and the opioid epidemic, avoiding scams and anonymously reporting crime, will be on display in tax collector offices across Florida.” “I am so excited to join the Florida Tax Collectors Association to help distribute important crime prevention information and resources to even more Floridians. Human trafficking, the opioid abuse and consumer scams affect the lives of Floridians on a daily basis and knowing how to properly respond to each of these unique situations is crucial and, in some instances, could help save a life. I am grateful to each of the Florida Tax Collector’s offices that will begin displaying information from our office to better engage and educate our communities on these issues that affect all Floridians,” Moody said. She addressed media in Jacksonville, where her remarks focused heavily on a statewide Crime Stoppers tip line (**TIPS) recently rolled out to replace 27 different numbers around the state. “A simple streamlined number. Very catchy. My 11-year-old remembers it,” she said. Moody, with tax collectors from around the region and the state, said the effort would allow “citizens in the state of Florida to help us stop crime. That includes everything from the opioid epidemic to human trafficking, and finally, any type of crime where someone might have information and wants to report that crime anonymously.” Tax collectors, Moody said, are natural resources in the fight against crime for Florida law enforcement. “They interact with the public on a daily basis in ways that are critical to Floridians,” she said about the revenue agents. Moody noted that in Jacksonville, the homicide rate is on the rise in certain areas of town, and for this and other places with a high murder rate, rewards can be increased, “nearly doubled,” in fact, for good anonymous tips. A representative from Northeast Florida Crime Stoppers hailed the new one-stop line, saying it would “simplify tremendously” the tipster process. John Power , the President of the Florida Tax Collectors Association, extolled the initiative. “We could not be prouder than we are now to partner with Attorney General Moody in this effort,” Power said. Nassau County Tax Collector John Drew , a former President of the FTCA himself, noted that he and Moody worked together to develop the **TIPS idea “a little while back.” “I knew there was no better office for the tax collectors to partner with than that of the Attorney General,” Drew said, in launching the **TIPS concept. Ashley Yoder vs. Jinh Yu Frey set for UFC event on July 31. A strawweight battle is set for the UFC’s summer slate. Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Ashley Yoder and Jinh Yu Frey has been added to the UFC’s fight card on July 31. While the event does not have an official venue or location announced, UFC President Dana White stated following Saturday’s UFC 262 event that the plan for the rest of 2021 is to host Fight Night events at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Per sources, Frey had originally agreed to face promotional newcomer Istela Nunes at the event, but Nunes was forced to withdraw from the bout due to visa issues. Yoder makes her fourth octagon appearance in a little less than 12 months with the hope of getting back in the win column. “The Spider Monkey” snapped a two-fight skid at November’s UFC Vegas 14 event, but was on the losing end of a unanimous decision to Angela Hill in their second meeting at UFC Vegas 21 in March. Frey looks to make it two straight victories after earning her first promotional win at UFC Vegas 21 over Gloria de Paula. The 35-year-old has gotten her hand raised over the likes of Herica Tiburcio, Ashley Cummins and Minna Grusander under the Invicta FC banner and moved up to 115 pounds to sign with the UFC in 2020. She dropped her first two octagon bouts to Kay Hansen and Loma Lookboonmee. By The Numbers: Alesha Zappitella vs. Jessica Correa Delboni. Alesha Zappitella now gets the chance to prove whether or not she has staying power. “Half Pint” will defend the Invicta Fighting Championships atomweight title for the first time when she faces Jessica Correa Delboni in the Invicta 44 co-main event on Friday at the Police Athletic League in Kansas City, Kansas. Zappitella enters the cage on a three-fight winning streak. She last fought at Invicta 42 in September, when she captured the vacant 105-pound championship with a shoulder choke submission of Ashley Cummins. Meanwhile, Delboni has recorded three wins across her last four outings. She also has not competed since Invicta 42, where she took a three-round unanimous decision from former atomweight titleholder Herica Tiburcio. As Zappitella and Delboni make final preparations ahead of their championship showdown, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point: 26: Years of age for Zappitella, who was born in Conneaut, Ohio, on Feb. 28, 1995. The Top 5 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list at the time were Madonna’s “Take a Bow,” TLC’s “Creep,” Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knee,” Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain” and Brandy’s “Baby.” 2: Submission victories on the Zappitella resume, accounting for 25% of her career total (eight). Her methods of choice: one shoulder choke and one arm-triangle choke. Zappitella owns six other victories by decision. 642: Days since Zappitella last suffered a defeat. She wound up on the wrong side of a split decision against Kanna Asakura at Rizin 18 on Aug. 18, 2019. Zappitella has responded to the setback with three consecutive wins. 3: Countries in which Zappitella has competed as a mixed martial artist. She has gone 7-1 in the United States, 1-0 in China and 0-1 in Japan. 27: Years of age for Delboni, who was born on Sept. 7, 1993 in Vila Velha, Brazil—nearly 5,400 miles from Invicta Fighting Championships headquarters. 8: Delboni victories by decision, accounting for 80% of her career total (10). She owns two other victories by knockout or technical knockout, having punched out Pamela Rosa and Bruna Emanuele Brasil in back-to-back appearances in 2017. 7: Straight wins to start Delboni’s career. Her time as an undefeated fighter came to an end at Invicta 32, where she lost a three-round unanimous decision to Ashley Cummins on Nov. 16, 2018. .552: Cumulative winning percentage between the 10 women Delboni has beaten. They own a combined record of 64-51-1 and four of them— Rosa, Bianca Sattelmayer, Cristiane Lima Silva and Juliana Costa—currently sit below .500.
