Curtis Lee Shelton, 57, was found dead in his Nashville, Kansas, home on Friday, February 21, 2014. He was discovered during a welfare check by a Kingman County sheriff’s deputy and had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The homicide alarmed the town of fewer than 70 residents and prompted a multiagency investigation involving the Kingman County Sheriff’s Office, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Kansas Highway Patrol.

A 46-year-old man was arrested the day after Shelton’s body was found. Investigators later identified two men as responsible: Jeffery Hartpence, 36, of Harper County, and Dean Cowles, 47, of Kingman. In March 2015 Hartpence pleaded guilty to first-degree felony murder and received life in prison with no parole eligibility for 20 years; Cowles was charged and faced trial on second-degree murder charges.

Did anyone in the Nashville area know Shelton or see suspicious activity around his home in February 2014?
