Larry Dean Boyd, 84, and his wife Othelana Josephine Josey Boyd, 80, were found dead in their home in the 7900 block of Highway 351 North in Jonesboro around 11 a.m. on Monday, May 8, 2023. Craighead County investigators determined both were victims of a double homicide, a discovery that shocked neighbors in the rural community; one neighbor said the crime did not appear to be random.

Investigators focused on a family member and issued an arrest warrant for the couple’s son and stepson, Jonathan Dean Boyd, 62, last known to live in Paragould. He was considered armed and dangerous at the time the warrant was announced. Jonathan Boyd was arrested in Paragould on May 21, 2023, and transported to the Craighead County Detention Center.

He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and theft of a firearm; a judge found probable cause and set bond at $5 million, ordering passport surrender and an ankle monitor if released. Does anyone in the area have information about the family or the days leading up to May 8, 2023?
