In the summer of 2015, Conway, Arkansas lost two residents in a violent attack when 66-year-old Robert Cogdell and his wife Patricia were found fatally shot in woods behind their home on Quail Run Circle. Concern arose when Robert, who worked as Public Works Director for the City of Maumelle, failed to report to work on July 22; a welfare check that day led to the discovery. Investigators believe the killings occurred the previous night, July 21, 2015.

Reports say Robert was shot multiple times inside the house, Patricia was shot in the garage while in her car, and that one of the assailants shot Robert again before the couple’s bodies were moved to the woods. Four teenagers were arrested in connection with the case, including the Cogdells’ 14-year-old grandson, Justin Shane Staton, and 17-year-old Hunter John Drexler; authorities say the plot was planned as a robbery.

Has anyone in Conway remembered anything unusual around July 21–22, 2015?
