On October 1, 2016, deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office entered a residence on County Road 920 near Alpena and found 54-year-old Aubry Otis Smith Jr. and 50-year-old Victoria Smith dead of apparent gunshot wounds. The couple were known to have been married but reportedly separated at the time; both lived in Harrison, Arkansas.

Investigators did not identify any outside suspects and a sheriff’s office spokesperson said authorities were not actively seeking anyone in connection with the deaths. Aubry Smith worked for Tyson Foods and volunteered with the Alpena and Green Forest first responders and fire departments. Few public details have been released about the sequence of events that led to the double fatality.

If anyone knew Aubry or Victoria, or has information about what happened at the County Road 920 residence on October 1, 2016, contact investigators.
