Lyn Ardell Bullard was 22 and from Maxton, North Carolina when he was found shot to death near a pond on Kalyn Drive on January 8, 2018. Known as Pa and of Native American descent, Lyn had been hunting that day with a 9-year-old child, Dakota Owens, who was also Native American. Both were last seen driving a black Ford Ranger pickup.

Later the same day the truck was located burned in a wooded area behind Lakewood Drive off Modest Road, about 4.5 miles south of where Lyn’s body was found; the child was discovered deceased inside the burned vehicle. Walter Woodrow Locklear, 27, of Lakewood Drive in Maxton, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and burning of personal property. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Division and ATF agents were involved in the investigation.

Lyn is survived by his parents, Cardell Bullard and Annette Locklear Bullard, and his daughter, Harmony Nicole Bullard. Did anyone in the area see the black Ford Ranger on January 8, 2018 or have information about either victim’s movements that day?
