Jerrell Jenkins, 36, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, was found dead in a ditch on December 13, 1998. A child on the way to school discovered the body. The cause of death was two gunshot wounds to the chest from a .357 caliber handgun.

The case remained unsolved for years after the initial investigation produced no immediate suspects or arrests. In 2005 an inmate already serving a life sentence, Kenneth Dewayne Williams, wrote a letter admitting he had robbed and shot Jenkins. Williams later pleaded guilty to capital murder, aggravated robbery, and theft of property in connection with Jenkins’ death and received an additional life sentence.

Anyone who knew Jenkins, his movements in December 1998, or who has information about that day is asked to come forward.
