Today, we pause to remember Lisa Arquette Bradford, 54, whose life came to an unexpected end in Aldie, Loudoun County, Virginia.
Behind every name is a story, a lifetime of memories and people who loved, cherished and cared for her.
According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a residence in the 24000 block of Quimby Oaks Place at approximately 12:10 p.m. on September 22, 2026, after a relative contacted authorities regarding Lisa. Deputies arrived and found her deceased inside the home.
Authorities identified Lisa as a 54-year-old Aldie resident and said the incident was being investigated as a domestic matter. Her husband, Roger Bradford, 60, was not at the residence when deputies arrived.
A multi-state search followed across Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania State Police later took Bradford into custody in Bedford, Pennsylvania, at approximately 3:15 p.m. He was charged in Virginia with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said there was no continuing threat to the public. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding Lisa’s death.
Lisa was known in her community as a real estate professional. NBC Washington reported that neighbors remembered her as a kind and involved member of the Aldie community. She and Roger Bradford had three children, according to authorities.
Beyond the circumstances surrounding her death, Lisa's life will be remembered by the people who knew her, worked with her and shared meaningful moments with her.
