Grand jury indicts man suspected in killing of his wife at Gilbert hospice care facility
A California man was indicted on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife, who was in hospice care at a Gilbert memory care facility. Justin Davidson, 46, was arrested on June 12, one day after his wife, 58-year-old Danielle Crosbie-Davidson, was found dead at Eternal Springs of Gilbert. The Gilbert Police Department responded to the facility around 9 a.m. on June 11 after staff reported suspicious bruising and markings on Crosbie-Davidson's body. She had passed away earlier that morning, at approximately 3 a.m. At the time of her death, Davidson, who was visiting from California, was staying in the room with his wife, who was receiving end-of-life care for advanced dementia. According to police, Davidson made admissions about his direct involvement in her death during an interview with detectives. He was subsequently arrested and booked into the custody of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on suspicion of first-degree murder. On June 30, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office announced that a grand jury had formally indicted Davidson on the murder charge, a Class 1 felony. He is currently being held on a $1 million bond, and his trial is tentatively set for February 2026. A spokesperson for the County Attorney's Office said they were unable to comment on the case as it is ongoing. A June 12 statement from the Gilbert police following the arrest expressed sympathy for the victim's family while reminding the public that the case investigation was still underway. 'We want to express our condolences to the victim's family during this difficult time," the statement read. "While an indictment indicates that there is enough evidence to believe a person may have committed a crime, the trial is still outstanding," they emphasized. "The Gilbert Police Department would like to remind the public that charged or submitted offenses are merely allegations. All defendants are presumed innocent until pleading guilty or being found guilty."
