Days after Megan Foglesong’s birthday, one of her friends told Dawn Foglesong that “her ex merked her out,” slang she learned stood for murder.
Starnes also grew concerned, especially after Madden told him, ‘No one will ever have to worry about her again.”’

The property at Madden’s childhood home, where the shooting spree ended after he shot the sheriff and killed his father and himself, has been repeatedly searched for Foglesong, especially an area where Madden had buried his dog, Rommel, along the Arkansas River.
Rommel’s grave has been dug up at least twice.
Dawn Foglesong said she dug up Rommel’s grave around summer 2016. She had the permission of Madden’s father, Thomas Madden, who was alive at the time.

The KBI dug up the grave again in October 2019, according to Madden’s sister, Julie Boeckman.
“We are willing to cooperate with the KBI and Megan’s family in any way possible,” Boeckman said in an email. “I have been in contact with Dawn, Megan’s stepmom, and told her she is always welcome to contact us and we would help them search the area any time.”

Rommel isn’t the only thing that Madden reportedly buried near the river on the family farm.
He allegedly buried guns along the river that were taken from the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, where Madden was stationed while he was a Marine.

Former sheriff Steve Bundy told The Eagle the guns were recovered along the Arkansas River, near the family’s property.
They were buried in the sand.
