In March 2021, two residents of Mountain View, Arkansas, were found shot to death on the kitchen floor of a home on Chateau Pointe Loop. Forty-year-old Brandy Niccole Avey Patrick and 64-year-old Ronald Calkins were discovered by Brandy’s son after the front door of the residence was found open.

Investigators noted Ronald Calkins’ 2001 white Dodge Ram was missing from the property. The truck was located the same day at a grocery store in nearby Fifty-Six, and 45-year-old Royce Calkins — Ronald’s son and Brandy Patrick’s boyfriend — was taken into custody there. He reportedly said it was an accident and later told authorities he believed his father and girlfriend were conspiring against him, a delusion he said motivated his actions.

Royce Calkins was convicted of first-degree murder in both deaths and received two life terms. If anyone knew Brandy or has information about the events in Mountain View in March 2021, please share what you know.
