Who is Robert Walden's ex-wife Cathy Mills and where is she now?

Cathy Mills was a teenager when she met 21-year-old Robert Walden. Owing to the latter's charm, the teenage mother was drawn to him from the very start. This was right after Robert Walden moved to Arizona after getting discharged from the United States Air Force in 1985.

The former couple lived in neighboring houses in Arizona. For months, they harbored a secret affair, mainly due to Cathy's mother, who was strongly opposed to the relationship. After dating in secret, they decided to tie the knot in the same year. However, proceedings changed drastically over the next few years.

Apart from Walden's conviction for assault, his family life was also not the most ideal. As later revealed by Cathy, he began his misogynistic tendencies by calling out her appearance and even hitting her once for talking back. These tendencies only grew with time. Despite welcoming a daughter, Cathy's situation didn't improve.

Later in their marriage, Walden also allegedly exhibited violence and forced himself on her on multiple occasions. He once hit her viciously as she held their baby in her arms. This was reportedly followed by him breaking her jaw. In 1990-1992, Cathy often noticed scratches in and around Walden's neck but didn't connect the dots until she witnessed a composite sketch at a laundromat.

She was one of the people who called the police to report her ex-husband. Walden was apprehended and eventually sentenced to death. After his arrest, Cathy admitted that she felt relieved. She also expressed a desire to attend her ex-husband's execution.

However, Cathy Mills has always maintained a low profile and not much is known about her. She revealed many crucial details about Walden after his arrest. Authorities later recovered numerous unusual items like knives and ropes from their house.
