Authorities have arrested the man Urquhart was last seen alive with in
connection with the death, but court records do not show that formal charges have been filed.
Arkansas State Police investigators say the suspect told them he and Urquhart were riding around on Nov. 27 and Urquart repeatedly asked for money. The suspect said he then shot Urquhart out of fear for his life and left the body in the ditch near Stuttgart.
