Who Killed Super Grandmother Greta Putnam And Where Is Her Great Grandson Dominic Potts?

Greta Jayne Putnam

You can shed tears that she is gone

or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back

or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her

or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone

or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

She Is Gone By David Harkins

She was born on February 4th, 1932. Greta was a beautiful, wonderful and selfless woman who loved to give. She always spoke her mind and was the life of the party. Greta loved golf, crafting, sewing, cooking and camping. She was always dressed with class. Greta was well-liked in her senior living community.

In her youth Greta was a super model. She was also a supermom that raised five children on her own after her husband died. She also had previously been a real estate agent and she even became her own broker.

On November 8th, 2018, vibrate Greta was 86 years old when she was found murdered at her home in Cottonwood Estates mobile home park in Oroville, California. The front door to her home had been left open and when a caregiver went inside, they found Greta with her throat slit in her bed. The killer covered her back up with a sheet after the murder. Her purse was untouched and there was no signs of forced entry. The community Greta lived in did have surveillance cameras, but none of them were working at the time. There were other businesses close by, but no idea if any footage was recovered from them.

The investigation into Greta's horrific end was hindered by the "Camp Fire", that started the same day. 

Besides her life coming to a tragic end, Greta also had many other heart wrenching events happen to her in her life. Greta’s father was murdered, her husband and son both died in a car accident, her daughter passed away from cancer and her granddaughter had rolled her vehicle and now remains in a wheelchair. Through it all, Greta endured with resilient strength, grace and radiated her kindness to everyone she'd meet.

The days before Greta's murder, her great grandson, Dominic Potts went missing. Rumor has it that he might have pissed off a biker gang. Dominic’s wallet and cell phone were found in his truck, and Dominic had previously told the family that people were after him.

A church down the street from Greta's home had homeless people congregating there frequently. 

A few months ago, a homeless man named, Brian Scott Madding, was arrested for Greta's murder. He is being held on a $1 million bond.

With no sign of forced entry and Greta being murdered in bed, the killer had to have been someone who knew her that she had let in the previous night. Or it could have been someone that had a key. There is also a possibility she accidentally left something open. The crime committed against Greta was so brutal, it seems like whoever it was was very angry with her. It also seems like they cared about her at some point due to the fact that she was covered with the sheet after.

Greta and Dominic's family are desperately seeking answers.
