On June 14, 2004, Mona Lee Branson Shelton, 46, was found shot in the head and killed at her business, the Cornerstone Monument Company in De Queen, Arkansas. A customer, Donna Marie Willis Cary, 45, was also discovered dead at the scene, similarly shot in the head.

Investigators identified a single suspect, 30-year-old Mickey David Thomas, and evidence indicated he entered the monument company intending to rob it and shot both women execution-style before fleeing. A man matching his description was seen leaving in a distinctive vehicle; the manhunt crossed into Oklahoma. The getaway car was located at a residence in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and Thomas later stole another vehicle at gunpoint. Police captured him after a pursuit and found victims’ purses in the car he was driving, linking him to the killings. Thomas was charged with two counts of capital murder, tried in Pike County, and convicted; he received a death sentence.

Did anyone in the De Queen or Broken Bow area have contact with either victim or observed the distinctive vehicle on June 14, 2004?
