A good Samaritan from Arizona who had “a huge, caring heart” was found dead on Christmas Eve — 14 miles from his house on a rugged dirt road — after being lured away by a stranger who claimed to have car trouble, police and family say.

“He was murdered,” Sabrina Vining, daughter of victim Paul Clifford, wrote in a Facebook post this week after her father’s body was discovered Tuesday in the area of Redington Pass Road and San Pedro River Road in Pima County near Tucson. “He took my truck to go jump start someone’s vehicle.”
