A 45-year-old man who committed suicide on Sunday left a videotaped murder confession behind, leading Arizona investigators to the body of his girlfriend, a 37-year-old mother, which was recovered from a 900-foot well two days later.

A statement from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office indicates that the slain remains of Carolyn Dahlgren were found on Tuesday — inside a private well located in a remote area of the desert in Goodyear.

According to the statement, information provided by Dahlgren’s killer, William Cahill, in confessional videos he recorded on his cell phone helped authorities locate her remains.

On Sunday, Cahill was found dead behind the wheel of his car from an apparent suicide caused by carbon monoxide inhalation after he connected a hose to the tailpipe of the vehicle and ran into the car’s cab.

“During the investigation by detectives, multiple videos were discovered on the decedent’s cell phone, which were accompanied by a note telling someone to watch video clips on the phone,” the statement reads.

“During these videos, William Cahill stated he had shot his girlfriend ‘Daisy’ twice and placed her body in a well somewhere in the desert,” the statement continues.

Efforts were made to find “Daisy,” who detectives eventually determined was the killer’s nickname for Dahlgren.

On Tuesday, homicide investigators located the well, “and utilized a private well company to recover the body, which was approximately 360 feet down the well.”

I suppose actually letting someone know where to find her makes him marginally less of an "asshole"? Marginally.
 
IDK, saying "her body in a well somewhere in the desert" doesn't really narrow it down in Arizona.

If they found her so quickly, I suspect his message did not just say "somewhere", but was a little bit more specific. Or they got lucky (and the signal from his mobile phone may have helped)!

It looks like that is how they found the body. Here's the Media Update from the Maricopa Country Sheriff's Office.
Murder Victim Pulled From 900 foot well in Goodyear

On Sunday, October 21st, 2018, at approximately 1:44pm, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office received a call-in reference to a male subject found deceased in a vehicle, near Perryville Road and Hunt Highway. The subject, who was later identified as 45-year old William “Bill” Cahill, was found deceased in the driver’s seat from an apparent suicide. A hose was connected to the tailpipe of the vehicle and ran into the car to fill the cab of the vehicle with carbon monoxide. MCSO District II Detectives were notified and began the investigation into the death.

During the investigation by detectives, multiple videos were discovered on the decedents cell phone, which were accompanied by a note telling someone to watch video clips on the phone. During these videos William Cahill stated he had shot his girlfriend “Daisy” twice and placed her body in a well somewhere in the desert. Detectives attempted to find “Daisy”, who was later identified as 37-year-old Carolyn Dahlgren, but were unsuccessful at that time.

On Tuesday 10/23/18 Investigators located a private well in the area of Queen Creek Road and 155th Avenue. Detectives discovered a concrete slab with a metal well shaft, approximately 900 feet deep and 18”-20” in diameter.

MCSO Homicide Unit assumed the investigation and utilized a private well company to recover the body which was approximately 360 feet down the well. The recovery of Carolyn Dahlgren’s body was made from the well at about 9pm last night, Tuesday October 23.

This is an ongoing open investigation at this time.
