According to a press release from the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation, three individuals have been arrested in connection with the murder of Harold Jones 41, of McCurtain County.
OSBI special agents worked all weekend investigating the crime and three arrests have been made.
Jones and his pickup truck were reported missing earlier this month. The truck was found in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, and traced back to Clarksville, Texas.
Marvin Baty, 43, of Clarksville, Texas, Heather Melancon, 31, of Idabel, and Bo Greenwood, 25, also of Idabel, have all been arrested in the murder.
OSBI special agents, an anthropologist with the Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Broken Bow fire department, and deputies with the McCurtain County Sheriff Office spent Friday, July 14, recovering Jones’ body from a well 15 miles north of Idabel.
Red River County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Baty on Monday, July 17, 2017 at his residence at 304 Star St in Clarksville after a three-hour-long standoff.
Baty was booked into the Red River County jail in Clarksville, Texas.
OSBI agents had deputies arrest Melancon when they found her walking along a street in Idabel.
An OSBI special agent arrested Greenwood at the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office Friday evening.
All three individuals have been arrested for murder in the second degree since a death occurred during the commission of a felony. The felony was stealing Jones’ pickup truck.
Additional or updated charges may be filed once the investigation is complete
