<<Peggy Hall of Smithville was arrested and charged in connection to Pops murder. During questioning she admits she was there the night Pops was taken from his home and murdered. She says he was stabbed to death over money by an Amory man. After an extensive search of a wooded area Pops body was claimed to be dumped no evidence was recovered but several leads were followed but law enforcement feel they have a good case.

With several people said to be responsible for either the murder or disposal of Pops body, authorities believe indictments will be handed down. >>
