John David Hart, 48, was found dead in Pocahontas, Arkansas, on November 10, 2015. Authorities from the Randolph County Sheriff’s Department and the Arkansas State Police investigated a death that was soon linked to a domestic dispute involving methamphetamine.

Investigators arrested John’s ex-wife, Kathy Jane Hart, then 55, after she admitted to shooting him. Kathy Hart claimed self-defense, saying John had assaulted her first. Their 15-year-old daughter, who was present, told investigators there had been no physical fight before the shooting, a statement that contradicted Kathy Hart’s account and became central to the case.

In November 2016 Kathy Hart pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 30-year sentence in the Arkansas Department of Correction. Did anyone in Pocahontas know the Harts or have information about the events leading up to that November 2015 night?
