Gretchen Stoughton Anthony (January 8, 1969 – March 21, 2020) was an American woman from Jupiter, Florida, who was murdered by her estranged husband, David Ethan Anthony, in the early morning hours of March 21, 2020. David Anthony had attempted to persuade Gretchen Anthony to travel with him to Costa Rica, where he believed they could escape the COVID-19 pandemic. When Gretchen declined, David entered her house in Abacoa, Florida, and stabbed her to death in her garage. He then discarded her body in a nearby wooded area before fleeing the state. David Anthony was apprehended in Las Cruces, New Mexico, less than a week later; he was charged with second-degree murder and kidnapping. Per the conditions of a plea agreement, David revealed the location of Gretchen's body, and on January 14, 2021, he was sentenced to 38 years in prison.
