Patrick Alan Dickey, 21, of Texarkana, Arkansas, was killed on February 15, 2005, and his body was later found burned in the back of his car near Doddridge about 28 miles south of Texarkana. Billy Drumm, 22, was killed in the same incident and his body was burned alongside Dickey’s. Both bodies were discovered by squirrel hunters and were burned beyond recognition.

Court documents and testimony named Samantha Sevier-Smith and Charles Hutchinson as the primary perpetrators. Hutchinson testified that Sevier-Smith shot Dickey and that he shot Drumm twice before Sevier-Smith shot Drumm in the back of the head. Prosecutors said the murder weapons were melted with a blowtorch in an effort to destroy evidence and that Kristi Sevier and her husband T.J. Sevier helped cover up the crime.

Sentences reported in the case included a maximum 67-year term for Samantha Sevier-Smith after a no-contest plea, a combined 60-year sentence for Charles Hutchinson, and a 27-year plea agreement for Kristi Sevier. T.J. Sevier was convicted and given 86 years for his role in burning the bodies and destroying the weapons. An auto-shop employee, David Sams, allegedly assisted with destroying the weapons but cooperated with investigators and was not expected to receive jail time.

Does anyone have information about the victims’ last known movements or about activity near Doddridge around February 15, 2005?
