West Fork, AR – A man and woman were found dead Saturday afternoon on a trail at Devil’s Den State Park, prompting a double homicide investigation by Arkansas State Police.
According to the Arkansas State Police, troopers were called to the scene around 2:40 p.m. Saturday, where the bodies of a 43-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were discovered. The agency’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) has taken over the case.
Authorities say the suspect is described as an unknown white male last seen wearing dark shorts, a black tank top and weight-lifting gloves.
