TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) — A 79-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a 1975 cold case.
According to the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Carol Ann Beall, 79, was arrested on May 28. PCSD Homicide and Cold Case Unit detectives located the woman in the 7800 block of N. Starr Grass Drive. She faces a first-degree murder charge in the 1975 death of 73-year-old William Reginald Sipfle.
Play Video Carol Ann Beall, 79, has been arrested and charged in connection with a 1975 cold case. The victim was identified as 73-year-old William Reginald Sipfle.
In October 1975, a man contacted deputies after he discovered human remains at the Pima County Waste Transfer Station. Detectives collected evidence but could not identify the remains found at the scene. Investigators determined the human remains belonged to a man.
The case went cold after an extensive follow-up with no new leads.
In 2025, PCSD partnered with a company specializing in forensic genealogy to help identify the human remains. Evidence was submitted for advanced DNA testing and genealogical analysis, the department said.
"DNA efforts led investigators to identify the granddaughter of the deceased," PCSD said. "She stated her grandfather had gone missing in 1975, though no missing person report had been filed."
From that information, detectives developed a new lead that positively identified the victim at Sipfle.
Beall, who appears to be the victim's stepdaughter, was booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Complex, PCSD said.

Just everything in your post #15.
Yeah I didn’t condemn her my follow-up post explains it have a nice day
It was a misunderstanding. That was responding to the fellow that said she she got away with it for 15 years. I should have put in if she is guilty I didn’t mean to imply that she was guilty if she is guilty she’ll pay an eternity if she doesn’t accept Christ as that’s.
Her bond is $500,000. William Sipfle had been the city engineer for Hermiston, OR, and retired in 1969 to Tucson, AZ. Some more info here:
I’m sure it was all just a “misunderstanding”.

Someone benefited in some way from his death.
Maybe she was hot in 1975 and her stepfather wanted to be more than that and she took him out...apparently only her and God know the truth.
“Carol’s Got A Gun”
Deafsnith... you just can’t stop sticking the knife in huh? I explained that I DID NOT INTEND to imply she was guilty. You seem to get some kind of pleasure out of attacking freepers for some reason. I made a mistake, it was not my intention to declare her guilty.
Sentence her to free room, board and health care for the rest of her life!
Sociopaths have NO conscience.
Like our pastor said last week, not one person who ended up in hell thought they were going there.
Your pastor is living in a bubble. Get a new one. This has been repeatedly studied and although small in % millions of people are ok to go to Hell. Get a pastor who is intellectually curious and doesn’t just make shit up to fit his own narrative.
Sorry. You have no idea what you’re talking about. You have the context all wrong. And my pastor is a true man of God so I’ll take what he says over you every time. I will not debate this with you as you have proven you’ll rush to JUDGEMENT without hesitation.
ive heard that before too, but I dunno how true that is. Some seem to know they are going and don’t care and evrn brag about it. They don’t understsnd how terrible it’s going to be. Saw a fella in a shirt that said “I’m going to hell in 24 different religions”.
I’ve heard people proclaim that they would rather be in h3ll than bow in obeisance to God” stating that they feel God uses hell as a threat to coerce people, or frighten them into accepting Him.
i hope there is a “deathbed” conversion where God gives them one last chance, maybe shows them what they are in for if they continue to refuse him, but i dont think that isthe case (hope im wrong).
I hope she gets life in prison with no chance of parole. (Should be over with in 5 years or so).
Oh, in 1975, I guess they were back in the stone age with only TWO GENDERS!! 🤓
And she will still get her monthly SS check deposited into her Prison Commissary account.
Its a win-win for her. Free heath care, no rent, free tv, free food, and government money to live out her remaining years
Better check to see what happened to his SS checks after he disappeared.
