In the early morning hours of November 12, 2009, firefighters in Pearcy, Arkansas, discovered a mobile home ablaze and, inside the charred remains, the bodies of 19-year-old Kristyn Warneke, her 24-year-old boyfriend Jeremy Gentry, and his parents Edward Gentry Jr., 56, and Pam Gentry, 52. A short time later Jeremy’s 80-year-old grandfather, Edward Gentry Sr., was found dead in another building on the same property. Autopsies confirmed all five victims had been shot to death before the fire was set.

Investigators concluded robbery was the apparent motive after determining flat-screen televisions, guns, and custom rims and tires had been stolen and one victim’s truck was burned and abandoned miles away. Within a week tips and an informant led police to three suspects: Samuel Conway, Jeremy Pickney, and Marvin Stringer. On November 19 a hotel arrest attempt in Hot Springs produced a shootout in which Stringer was killed and a deputy wounded; Conway and Pickney were taken into custody. Pickney later pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received 50 years; Conway was convicted of capital murder, his conviction was overturned on appeal, and he later pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to 40 years.

Does anyone have information about the stolen items or the movements of the suspects around Pearcy in November 2009?
