A mother of a Colorado Springs woman was stabbed 16 times, her arm becoming nearly severed, before she died while trying to protect her daughter from her estranged husband in her townhome in the northeast side of the city, police testified Friday in 4th Judicial District Court. Timothy Ray Scott, Jr., 28, faces two counts of first-degree murder after deliberation in the death of his mother-in-law Tamara Dunn and her daughter, Ann Jolynne Page Scott, 29, who was fatally shot in her home in March 2020. Police found Dunn lying at the bottom of the stairs in her daughter’s home, at 6625 Palace Drive, with 16 stab wounds, skull fractures and possible brain hemorrhaging, according to Brent Jacobson, a Colorado Springs police detective, describing the autopsy completed by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office. She had abrasions on her tailbone, consistent with a neighbor’s Ring doorbell camera footage showing a man dragging a woman along the sidewalk and back into the townhouse, according to police testimony.
