Christine Barsanti : “Bedford Man Accused of Murder in 79-Year-Old Woman’s Death”

Man Arrested for Murder After Woman Found Dead in Bedford Home

A man has been taken into police custody and is facing a murder charge following the discovery of a woman’s body inside a home in Bedford, police have confirmed.

The incident unfolded on Friday afternoon when officers responded to a call about an unconscious person at a residence in the 2400 block of Meadow View. Upon arrival, law enforcement found the body of an elderly woman, later identified as 79-year-old Christine Barsanti, who had passed away under unknown circumstances the previous day.

In a statement released on Monday, the Bedford Police Department revealed that Barsanti may have been struck by an unknown object, leading to her death. The investigation into the case quickly led to the arrest of Brandon Paramore, a 39-year-old resident of Euless, who was apprehended over the weekend on unrelated charges but is now facing a murder charge in connection with Barsanti’s demise.

Authorities indicated that surveillance footage from Barsanti’s home played a crucial role in identifying Paramore as a suspect. The video showed a man ringing the victim’s doorbell, requesting to use her phone. When Barsanti refused, he forcibly entered her home, as captured on camera.

Although the footage did not capture the events inside the house, it showed the man leaving the premises shortly after his entry. Officers noted similarities between Paramore and the individual seen in the security footage, leading to his arrest.

As of Monday evening, Paramore’s bond had not been set, and he is expected to be transferred to the Tarrant County jail. It remains unclear whether he has legal representation at this time.

The investigation into Barsanti’s death is ongoing, and the Bedford Police Department has urged anyone with information about the case to come forward by contacting them at 817-952-2127.
