'V Known Linda Cottons, a Former State Senator, Was Murdered

randolph county sheriff cavin bell spent years with the arkansas state police before coming to rest in randolph county. When he got the call, early evening, june fourth, two thousand 19, he knew a storm was coming. The despatcher told me that parson had been found peared, the men wrapped in a blanket outside, underneath a tarp et linda collins residence. Sounded like a homicide to me. If there's such a thing as a run of the mill murder, this wasn't it. This was personal.
