On November 11, 2018, 72-year-old Jane Rust of Sparkman was shot and killed while visiting Johnson County, Arkansas. Companions heard the shot and found her on the trail with her camera nearby.

The shot was fired by 61-year-old Dale Williams, who was hunting in the area. Williams said he saw a deer run across the road and mistook a white flash through dense brush for game, then fired a .308 bolt action rifle from roughly 171 feet. Officers later arrested Williams; an empty beer can was found in his UTV and he acknowledged he might have consumed a beer earlier. A toxicology report detected cannabinoid and methamphetamine in his system. Williams was charged with manslaughter and was arraigned and released on his own recognizance to await further proceedings.

Did anyone in the area on November 11, 2018, see or hear activity near the Yale Church trail that could help clarify what happened?
