On September 14, 2011, firefighters responded to a deliberately set fire at 123 Town & Country Lane in Searcy, Arkansas, the home of 46-year-old Kimberly Steele. The blaze was started in multiple places inside the house and Steele’s two dogs died in the fire. Neighbors reported seeing a small blue car leave the property shortly before the fire was discovered.

Steele’s parents reported her missing on September 15 after they had been unable to reach her for two days. That same day her body was found in a remote section of the Wattensaw Wildlife Management Area in Prairie County. The Arkansas State Medical Examiner determined Steele had been shot in the head and that the gunshot wound was the cause of death; her body had also been set on fire. The White County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as an unsolved homicide and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone remembers the small blue car or has information about Steele’s movements in mid-September 2011, please come forward.
