On September 10, 1980, Kenneth P. Staton, 50, was working in his family’s business, Staton’s Jewelry Store, in the Cloverleaf Shopping Center in Van Buren, Arkansas, when two men entered intending to rob the store. Kenneth and his daughter, Suzanne Ware, were bound and gagged and later found shot twice in the head in the back of the shop; a neighboring store clerk discovered their bodies at about 6:00 p.m. Autopsies confirmed both died of close-range gunshot wounds.

The robbery yielded an estimated $100,000 in jewelry, watches, and cash. Investigators identified two suspects, Eugene Wallace Perry and Richard Phillip Anderson, who fled the state after the killings. Perry was later captured in Florida and Anderson in Canada; both were tried separately and convicted.

Does anyone have information about the Cloverleaf Shopping Center that might shed light on how the robbery was planned or who else could have been involved?
