Late on November 29, 2014 the body of 49-year-old James Kenneth Bird Hunt was found beneath his burned truck near a levee in Marked Tree, Arkansas. Investigators determined Hunt had not died in the fire; the cause of death was a shotgun wound to the head and blood trails showed his body had been moved and rolled down a hill for some distance.

Police identified two people of interest after Hunt’s wife, Peggy, told them Christopher W. Terrell and Betty Grant had been in contact with her husband shortly before his death and provided Terrell’s phone number. Grant initially told police she had accidentally killed Hunt, but later recanted at trial, saying methamphetamine use affected her earlier statement and instead testifying that Terrell had shot Hunt. Grant also testified she had sexual relationships with both men and described drug use and volatility in the days before the killing.

A Poinsett County jury found Christopher W. Terrell guilty of first-degree murder. The conviction was later appealed on grounds that evidence was insufficient given Grant’s changing statements, but the conviction was affirmed. Did anyone who knew James or saw unusual activity in Marked Tree around late November 2014 come forward with information?
