Homicide Investigation Underway in Baxter County

Baxter County, Ar – Local authorities have launched a homicide investigation following the death of 50-year-old Rickey Joe Millsap from Mountain Home. Millsap’s body was discovered in Moccasin Creek, located at the Baxter County/Izard County line, on August 15.

Since the discovery, the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office, along with various local law enforcement agencies, has been diligently working on the case. This includes the execution of search warrants and the collection of forensic evidence.

Millsap had not been seen since August 9, although his disappearance had not been formally reported.

Individuals with tips are urged to contact the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division either in person, by phone at (870) 425-7000, or via email to CID Lieutenant Brad Hurst at bhurst@baxtercountysheriff.com.
