Jeremy Reese Scroggins, 28, of Harrison, Arkansas, was last seen by his parents on June 27, 2016, in the area of Gipson and Rock Springs Road. Four days later his father reported him missing; investigators later found his body in a cemetery west of Harrison. An autopsy determined he had been shot twice in the head with a .22-caliber weapon.

Boone County investigators concluded the motive was a drug debt tied to a man named Guillermo Martinez. Authorities say Shay Butler, 24, and his girlfriend Morgan Vaughan, 27, picked up Scroggins intending to rob him. Butler reportedly told investigators he drove Scroggins to a rural spot near Denning Cemetery and shot him. Social media messages were cited as helping lead investigators to Butler and Vaughan.

Butler pleaded guilty to capital murder and aggravated robbery and received a 36-year sentence; Vaughan was convicted of aggravated robbery and given 13 years. Martinez was charged with aggravated robbery but was acquitted by a jury. If anyone knew Jeremy, his movements that day, or has information about the people involved, investigators want to hear from you.
