Wow shot in the back while running and disposed of in a well - RIP poor Scotty.

DF's father "EF" is now in custody too:

“On Monday 04/25/2022, the Newton County Sheriff’s Office received information that a body had been hidden on a property in the county following a homicide in Joplin.

A search warrant was conducted at 20364 Crane Drive, Seneca Mo. The resident of that address, Eddie Fisher, was taken into custody on separate charges unrelated to this particular investigation.

Deputies continued the investigation and obtained more information about the location of the body. The Joplin Police Department was contacted to advise them of the possible homicide in their jurisdiction.

On Tuesday 04/26/2022, heavy equipment was brought in to assist as we had information the body was in a well on the property. The original equipment we utilized was not able to reach the depth we needed so on Wednesday we resorted to a drill rig with an auger bucket that could reach our desired depth. At that time we were able to locate human remains at approximately 45 foot in depth."
