Amber Sue Belcher Dunigan, 36, was found dead inside her car along Arkansas Highway 16 near Fayetteville on May 28, 2021, the victim of a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband, Jason Ross Dunigan, reported her missing and later discovered the body; investigators soon identified him as a suspect. Authorities say Amber carried a $300,000 life insurance policy listing Jason and their son as beneficiaries, and investigators believe Jason killed her to collect the payout. A small piece of neon green fabric recovered near her head wound was reported as consistent with Jason’s work shirt and may have been used to muffle the gunshot.

In February 2022 Jason Dunigan was arrested and charged with capital murder; he pleaded not guilty. Amber was a 2002 graduate of Carlisle High School who later managed two Supercuts locations and was remembered by colleagues for dedication, honesty, and a positive attitude. Does anyone have information about Amber’s last known movements or the area around Highway 16 that could help clarify what happened?
