Hikers in Fremont County’s Phantom Canyon discovered a pair of bodies on July 16, 2022. The victims were identified as 29-year-old Morgan Apple and her 31-year-old husband Shawn Apple, both from Harrisburg, Arkansas. Authorities determined the couple’s deaths to be a double homicide, and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office opened an intensive investigation into the killings.

The investigation continued for months with the community and the families seeking answers about what happened to the young couple while they were in the scenic canyon area. If anyone has information about Morgan or Shawn’s movements in Phantom Canyon that summer, or about anyone seen near that section of the canyon on or around July 16, 2022, please come forward.
