Four people have been arrested and charged with kidnapping and murder charges relating to human remains found in a burned out car this week in rural north Arkansas, the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office said.
A 911 reported the burned vehicle”with what looked like a body inside” just south of Mountain Home at about 10 a.m., the sheriff’s office said. Deputies located the vehicle and sent the body to the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Little Rock for an autopsy.
“It appears the vehicle had been there for several days,” Sheriff John Montgomery said.
Investigators executed search warrants on the car and two homes, one in Mountain Home and one east of Mountain Home, eventually developing several suspects.
