On May 4, 1991, a family camping trip near the Ouachita River in Montgomery County, Arkansas, ended in the fatal shooting of 61-year-old Glen Harold Gay. Glen was fishing with his son, Randy William Gay, and Randy’s wife, Janice Cochran, when an argument between father and son escalated. Randy returned to the campsite with a shotgun and fatally shot Glen in the head.

After the shooting, Randy and Janice moved Glen’s body by boat and then by vehicle before disposing of it. Both initially denied knowing Glen’s whereabouts but later turned themselves in. Janice first said she had acted in self-defense, then recanted and said Randy fired the shot; Randy eventually led police to his father’s body. Both were arrested. Janice was convicted of manslaughter and served eight months; Randy was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20 years, and was paroled in 2000. Randy had a prior second-degree murder conviction from 1978 in the killing of his father-in-law.

Are there details about the argument that anyone with knowledge can share?
