Phantom Canyon Verdict Finally Reached | Colorado Springs News

Toni Gurule, the last defendant in the Phantom Canyon murders, has been found guilty after a lightning-fast jury verdict—marking the dramatic close of a case plagued by legal chaos, including a discredited prosecution team and a last-minute special prosecutor who pulled off a stunning comeback. The 45-year-old faces two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of accessory to murder for the deaths of Rodolfo Santillan-Reyes and Ryan Roth, while her co-defendants settled with plea deals. Her defense plans to appeal, but the special prosecutor hailed the trial as one of her most rewarding—and legally demanding—cases yet. Sentencing is set for November 6th.
