The coroner's office has identified the second body that was found at the scene of an apparent murder-suicide in the northeast valley desert this week. The body of 44-year-old Teresa Graciela Mullis was found Monday afternoon next to 38-year-old Jeff Lingle. The two were lying near a red truck in a desert area just north of the 215 Beltway and Losee. Police say the two were a common law married couple whose home had recently gone into foreclosure, causing them to move in with a neighbor. Officers believe the murder-suicide stemmed from their depressed financial conditions.
