Marlin Marty Dwayne Bradley was 27 when he was found fatally shot in his Searcy, Arkansas, home on the afternoon of July 29, 1994. A truck driver who had requested time off in early August for family business believed to be a planned trip to Louisiana, Bradley was discovered in his bedroom after he failed to report for work. He was lying on his bed with a single gunshot wound to the face from a .38 caliber bullet.

The White County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and requested assistance from the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigations Division. Despite that joint effort, leads were scarce and no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. The case remains open and unsolved, leaving Bradley’s family and community without answers.

If anyone knew Marlin Bradley, his movements in Searcy in late July 1994, or has information about who might have been in his Eastline Road home that morning, please come forward.
