Former Coworker Charged in Brutal 2014 Murder Case of Compassionate Volunteer
In a chilling development, justice is finally served in the shocking 2014 murder case of Danette Webb, a dedicated volunteer at Noonday Ministries in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Danette, renowned for her compassionate work with the city’s homeless, was tragically found bound and nude in her own home, a victim of a brutal crime that remained unsolved for years.
Recently, a break in the case has led to the apprehension of a suspect from an unexpected quarter. Lance Beaton, 59, a former colleague of Danette’s, has been charged with an open count of murder, following a new lead that brought disturbing details to light. Detectives, after years of few promising leads, uncovered a shocking revelation that irrevocably linked Beaton to the crime.
It was revealed that Beaton, purportedly obsessed with sex toys, had been accused previously of disturbing behavior by an ex-girlfriend. His penchant for criminal activities like breaking, coupled with a macabre obsession with his victim, culminated in a heinous act that shook the community. Moreover, Beaton’s potential stalking of Danette, involving the replication of her house key, sheds light on the calculated and sinister nature of the crime.

This distressing saga serves as a stark reminder of the dark underbelly of seemingly ordinary circumstances and the poignant consequences of unchecked obsession and violence.
