AZ Department of Child Safety cancels contract with psychologist married to convicted murderer

For years, Dr. Marta DeSoto has evaluated families for Arizona in child protection cases.

Under a state contract, the Department of Child Safety has paid the clinical psychologist a lot of money to do it – $410,000 in the past two fiscal years alone.

But what state officials didn’t know is that DeSoto was married to a convicted child murderer. A man she met while working in the state prison system.
