Common card · No. 413351

Gary Lee Triano (November 6, 1943 – November 1, 1996) was an American real estate developer from Tucson, Arizona who was killed in Catalina Foothills by a pipe bomb explosion in his 1989 Lincoln Town Car on November 1, 1996. His former wife, Pamela Anne Phillips, a one-time model, real estate agent, and socialite, was charged with orchestrating her ex-husband's death. In a sensational trial nearly 18 years after Triano's murder, Phillips was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Phillips, who is now incarcerated at the Arizona State Prison Complex – Perryville, claims that Triano's death was a mob revenge killing. Ronald Young, who was hired by Phillips as a hit man, was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
