Aaron Taylor was 36 and experiencing homelessness when he was lit on fire on Christmas Day in 2007. Police think they know who’s responsible… but a lack of physical evidence…coupled with reluctant witnesses…has kept this case open for years. But multiple people know what happened…and investigators are hoping they’ll come forward.
If you have any information about the death of Aaron Taylor, please contact the Phoenix Police Department at 602-495-5883 or email [email protected]. You can also leave tips anonymously by contacting Silent Witness at 1-800-343-TIPS, or on its website at silentwitness.org.

And we're almost through our upcoming crime junkie tour route, which means we are that much closer to getting to see you in person. 2025 is coming up in no time, and we can't wait to deep dive into a case with you all. But until then, you know the drill, we want to reshare a story from our next stop. And today, we're headed back to Phoenix, Arizona, where in January, 2023, Ashley told you how an innocent man's life was senselessly ripped away from him. Police are certain there are individuals who know who is responsible. But even today, justice remains to be seen. Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And the story I have for you today is about a truly horrific death that you probably haven't even heard of. And that's because our victim was experiencing homelessness. And for some reason, our society has decided that we shouldn't give these stories national attention.
