Sorry for your loss.
It all looks very unusual, no mention of robbery, seem almost like a hit or maybe some family dispute gone wrong.
There's almost always a motive in murder, but it's often not apparent on the surface. Could have been a relative or friend with mental problems holding a grudge.

Not to be snarky, but... "she was publicly known as the gold-lady with her public name known"... yeah I think I might have a few ideas about the motive.
Don't talk about your preps... or massive stacks of gold and silver.
Looks like the ran a prospecting business. SO yeah some cholos or nig nogs probably paid to work a claim and a tour or whatever and scoped their operation. Came back later thinking they had a bunch of gold stashed somewhere.
