Richard Phillips, 39, disappeared from his Springdale, Arkansas, apartment on November 23, 2021. Four days later hunters found his body in a wooded area north of Seligman, Missouri; he had been severely beaten and suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Witnesses said a trail of blood led from the apartment, and surveillance footage showed two men dragging an unconscious person into the bed of a pickup truck.

Investigators identified two suspects: Reginald Baker, then 40, of Seligman, Missouri, and Daniel Blanks, then 43, of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Authorities allege the motive was retaliation over accusations that Phillips had sexually abused a girl when she was a child. Officials say Baker and Blanks entered Phillips’s apartment on the night of November 23, argued with him, and abducted him.

Both men were arrested after a manhunt and charged with capital murder, kidnapping, and burglary. Does anyone have additional information about Phillips’s last known movements or the events at the apartment on November 23?
