Sheila Jones-Courtney, 50, was killed on April 20, 2021 after being abducted from her workplace in El Dorado, Arkansas. Witnesses say her estranged husband, Robert Courtney, entered the workplace armed, threatened Sheila and her son, then forced Sheila into her vehicle at gunpoint. He drove her to a secluded wooded area near Huttig and fatally shot her there.

Courtney was located after a police pursuit into Ashley County, taken into custody, and reportedly confessed and led officers to Sheila’s body. He faced charges that included capital murder, kidnapping, burglary, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and was held without bond in the Union County Jail. On June 13, 2021, while incarcerated, he experienced chest pains and nausea and died of a suspected heart attack; an autopsy and investigation by the Arkansas State Police followed.

Sheila is described as a devoted mother and grandmother, educated at SouthArk Community College and active in her community. Does anyone have information about Sheila or her last day at work that could help clarify what happened?
