(AP) \u2014 No one saw Sasha Krause being taken from a Mennonite community in northwestern New Mexico where she worked in the publishing ministry, dominated in card games and ping pong, and where her poetry became song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one saw the woman with a quiet and passive demeanor killed hours away in northern Arizona, a gunshot wound to the back of the head, her wrists bound by duct tape and left in the bitter cold among the pine needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutor Ammon Barker argued Friday that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/09\/26\/airman-charged-with-murder-accused-of-trying-to-cover-tracks\/\" target=\"_blank\">cellphone data<\/a>, receipts, financial records, repeated lies and a cover-up scheme point to Mark Gooch, a U.S. Air Force airman stationed in metropolitan Phoenix. Barker said Gooch was driven by a resentment for the faith he grew up around in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you look at the evidence through reason, common sense and experience, you will know beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant is guilty,\u201d Barker told jurors in closing arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gooch\u2019s attorney, Bruce Griffen, argued there is reason to doubt that Gooch killed Krause. He pointed to a lack of forensic evidence, another car seen in the Mennonite community and differing opinions from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/2021\/10\/07\/ballistics-experts-in-case-against-luke-air-force-base-airman-disagree\/\" target=\"_blank\">ballistics experts<\/a> about whether the bullet taken from Krause\u2019s skull was fired from a .22-caliber rifle that Gooch owned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWrong gun, wrong bullet, wrong car,\u201d Griffen said. \u201cHow does it add up? Wrong guy. You\u2019ve got to deal with the objective evidence we have that creates reasonable doubt. You can\u2019t ignore reasonable doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 12-member jury did not immediately reach a verdict Friday and will resume deliberations Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1798\" height=\"1153\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21274809163677.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21274809163677.jpg.jpg 1798w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21274809163677.jpg.jpg?resize=300,192 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21274809163677.jpg.jpg?resize=768,492 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21274809163677.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,657 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21274809163677.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,985 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1798px) 100vw, 1798px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mark Gooch, 22, sits below an image of Sasha Krause shown on a screen during his trial at the Coconino County Superior Court in Flagstaff, Ariz., on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021. Gooch is charged with first-degree murder in Krause&#8217;s death in early 2020. (Jake Bacon\/Arizona Daily Sun via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gooch faces life in prison if he\u2019s convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping in Krause\u2019s death. Her disappearance on Jan. 18, 2020 set off a frantic search. A camper eventually found her while gathering firewood near Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument in the same clothing that Krause had on when she went missing \u2014 a gray dress, white coat and hiking shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no indication that Krause and Gooch knew each other or that Krause put up a fight. Their families are part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2020\/05\/28\/airman-charged-in-mennonite-womans-death-grew-up-in-the-faith\/\" target=\"_blank\">conservative group of Mennonites<\/a> that dress modestly, reject some most forms of technology, and practice nonviolence and nonresistance. Gooch never officially joined the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both of their parents have been in the courtroom for the trial. Krause\u2019s mother grimaced and turned away as Barker displayed photos of her daughter for the jury during closing arguments. Gooch\u2019s parents have had emotional exchanges with their son\u2019s attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 27-year-old Krause was teaching in Texas where her family still lives before she moved to the Farmington Mennonite community where \u201cLamp + Light\u201d are spelled out in painted white rocks on the side of a mesa. Krause worked in the publishing ministry bearing that name. One of her sisters previously lived in Farmington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krause was gathering items for Sunday school when she went missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gooch, 22, told a sheriff\u2019s detective that he was in Farmington that day to check the times for church service because he missed the fellowship of Mennonites. His estimates on how long he spent on the trip weren\u2019t consistent with the cellphone data, financial records and surveillance video, Barker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gooch didn\u2019t simply swing by the church as he said, Barker argued. He spent more than three hours near the church and detoured off the interstate for two hours in the area where Krause\u2019s body was found. Gooch later deleted the location history from his phone, bought bleach, had his car detailed and asked a buddy to store his rifle, Barker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gooch\u2019s phone was the only device that communicated with the same towers as Krause\u2019s phone before her signal dropped off west of Farmington, prosecutors said. Barker displayed text message exchanges between Gooch and his brothers that he said show Gooch had a general disdain for Mennonites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy all accounts of what we\u2019ve heard in trial was Sasha Krause was a light, a light to her family, her community, the world.\u201d Barker said. \u201cAnd this defendant snuffed it out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Griffen told jurors that Gooch voluntarily cooperated with a detective and is nonviolent. He argued that cellphone data is scientifically weak and cannot point to specific activities. He said two text messages exchanges mentioning Mennonites in recent years do not mean Gooch is guilty of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Griffen posed a question to jurors about whether someone who was trying to pull off a covert mission would have used a cellphone or credit cards that leave tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe doesn\u2019t do any of those things, he doesn\u2019t try to avoid any of those things,\u201d Griffen said. \u201cIt\u2019s all inconsistent with the state\u2019s suggestion that he\u2019s the guy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jurors will continue deliberations this week in the murder case against Luke Air Force Base airman Mark
