54 year old Wanda Gill had just moved to Montgomery County with her husband Joe, when she went missing back in April.
"Her employer called me and wanted me to do a welfare check, because they hadn't been able to reach [Wanda] and she hasn't been back to pick up her last paycheck," said Sheriff David White.
White made contact with Joe Gill in May at the campground where the couple lived. He claimed he and his wife had a fight and she took off with his $9,000.
"I found out her tags had been renewed on her vehicle on July 6th," he explained. "The same day I started looking into this."
A few days later, Wanda's Toyota RAV4 was spotted at a farm nearly 200 miles away in Desha County. The next day, July 13th, authorities tracked down the car and Wanda's husband and son at a Chicot County motel.
When White knocked on the motel room door, the Gills' adult son Hunter opened the door. As soon as he asked where Joe was, a gunshot echoed from the bathroom.
Joe Gill took his own life, and with him he took any hint of where Wanda could be.
Hunter Gill was later interviewed but released by investigators
