Tensions inside a Hot Springs household erupted into deadly violence on the night of October 19, 2015. Thirty-two-year-old MaryAnn Reid was living with her two children, her mother Laura Reid, her pregnant younger sister Heather, and her father, Eric Allen Reid. Family arguments over money, parenting and the electric bill had been escalating in the week before the killings.

According to reports, an argument that began over a child not eating vegetables and later moved to the electric bill ended when Eric Reid retrieved a pistol. He shot his wife Laura multiple times and then shot MaryAnn. Heather, who was 38 weeks pregnant and struck in the arm by a bullet, witnessed the shootings, tried to give CPR to both victims and was told by Eric to call 911. Eric Reid was taken into custody at the end of the driveway and later admitted to the shootings, citing anger and financial stress. A jury later convicted him of two counts of capital murder and sentenced him to death.

Did anyone in Hot Springs have contact with MaryAnn or the family in the weeks before October 19, 2015?
