In January 2014 a domestic disturbance at a Highway 300 home in Pulaski County, Arkansas, ended with 56-year-old Jerry Digman shot multiple times and found dead on a mattress in his living room. Digman was a retired Arkansas State Police lieutenant and former Arkansas State Parks Chief Ranger who had served on gubernatorial security details and once ran for Lawrence County Sheriff.

Authorities arrested Pamela Digman, then 55, at the scene and charged her with first-degree murder. Friends later said Pamela had been unhappy in the couple’s roughly 30-year marriage and had taken a job that required travel to put distance between them. Investigators reported finding Google searches on her computer including phrases such as if you accidentally kill someone to prevent suicide is that a crime and accidental murder. Pamela initially told deputies she acted in self-defense, but during pretrial proceedings she accepted a plea and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, with the prosecutor recommending six years in prison and a 14-year suspended term.

Jerry Digman is survived by his wife, two sons, and a grandson. Does anyone have information about the events leading up to that January morning or knew the family?
