Evans, CO– New details are emerging in the case of former corrections Officer Tom Fallis. He was arrested for murder three years after his wife’s death was ruled a suicide, despite being shot in the back of the head.
The case was reopened in April of last year after previously unheard witness testimony surfaced in addition to claims that the case was mishandled by police detective Michael Yates.
On Wednesday, an unidentified deputy was placed on paid leave pending an internal investigation. The deputy admitted that he had overheard Fallis confess to killing his wife on the night of her death as he responded to the scene, and he never reported it to anyone.
Ashley Fallis was killed on New Years Day of 2012 after the couple had hosted a New Years Eve party for their friends at their home the evening before. Her husband had consumed a large amount of alcohol but became enraged when someone had brought marijuana to the party and threw everyone out of the house.
According to witness testimony, neighbors overheard Fallis yelling at his wife, and her pleading with him to get off of her. One neighbor said that he overheard the former officer confess to the killing, and one of the couple’s young children even gave eyewitness testimony to police, and stated that her father had killed her mother.
The 6-year-old little girl heartbreakingly told detectives that she saw “daddy getting the gun ready” and “saw daddy shoot mommy.”
Despite all of this, plus the gunshot being in the back of the beautiful mother’s head, the detectives ruled it a suicide and allowed Officer Fallis to remain free.
The family of his wife had witnessed the fight and knew the man’s history of violence, however, and had pushed for years to have the case reopened ever since. Eventually, the case was reopened, and Fallis was arrested for second degree murder.
“The long and the short of it is our investigator was working follow-up and a Weld County deputy said, ‘I heard Tom Fallis admit to shooting his wife,’ ” Evans Police Chief Rick Brandt told the Greeley Tribune. “Our investigator stopped the interview and called me because that information wasn’t in any of the original reports, and I immediately relayed that information to the district attorney.”
On Wednesday, it was also reported that none of the four deputies who immediately responded to the shooting filed reports on their involvement.

Standard police practice in America. Why I don’t live in America and use extreme caution when visiting here. Nothing in the world like the American cop in action. Every were else they would fire the lot of them as a disgrace to the uniform. In America they get away with all. And it is covered for. You name it they pull it and think all is well.
Gotta love the headline….Good Cop….Bad Cop (lol).
That’s like saying…..Good Politician….Bad Politician. I know that these phrases are not an oxy-moron……..but these two cops ARE morons and murderers. The cop who covered-up this crime is just as guilty as the cop who pulled the trigger….all over smoking pot!!!!!
A beautiful lady, a beautiful Mother, a HUMAN BEING…. killed over a joint!!!! Speaking of joint, that’s where these two cops need to be….in the joint.
That’s my problem too, William. The headline implies there are “good cops” somewhere.
The killing is just another of the many examples we read about everyday that show how quickly cops fly off the handle and start killing people for no valid reason…. even if you’re married to them.
And it also shows how practiced they are at covering up their murders. No remorse, no first aid; not even for his own wife. The first instinct is “how do we hide this”, and they proceed in that direction because they’re well-practiced at this. Covering up another one of their murders comes naturally, to the pig and his partner.
this lady no doubt was abused. he didn’t just snap that one time over a joint. if that story is even true.
a Pig doing what pigs do
and if those married to pigs think its all good, they got what they bargained for
if there were any “Good” cops, there wouldnt be any “Bad” cops .. its really that simple
just the fact that they are sworn to uphold and enforce ALL laws in by definition there cant be any good cops,, due to that fact that they have to enforce ALL laws , and some laws are unjust, criminal, and down right evil ..so there you have it.. no such thing as a good cop
“The family of his wife had witnessed the fight and knew the man’s history of violence, however, and had pushed for years to have the case reopened ever since.”
If anyone in that family had any balls, they’d have smoked that POS pig on the sly.
With other family witnesses to provide an alibi for him.

Until he ceases & desists…
