Three people have been arrested in connection with the death of a good Samaritan in Arizona.
Paul Clifford, 53, was found dead near a smoldering vehicle on Christmas Eve, according to authorities.
Authorities think that the individuals visited Paul Clifford at his house and asked for assistance due to their car malfunctioning. His relatives raised concerns about his disappearance after not receiving any communication from him.
