A Mountain View man has been arrested for allegedly threatening the former boyfriend of a woman who was murdered in Izard County in 2004. Whiterivernow.com reports 37-year-old Christopher B. Cantrell was arrested for allegedly saying he would kill Justin Gullett if he continued giving statements to law enforcement about Cantrell’s possible involvement in the death of 22-year-old Rebekah Gould.
Gould was killed in September of 2004 in Izard County in a case that still has not been solved. Her body was found down a steep embankment off State Highway 9 near Melbourne a week after she was last seen alive at a convenience store in Izard County.
According to affidavits filed in Stone County this week, Cantrell went to the home Gullett shares with his wife Mariah. When Mariah Gullett answered the door, Cantrell allegedly pushed his way into the residence and took her phone. Justin Gullett was not home at the time. When Gullett did return to the residence, Cantrell confronted him in regards to Gullett making statements to law enforcement about Cantrell’s possible involvement in the murder of Gould.
Mariah Gullett said Cantrell told her husband he would cut his throat and kill him if he continued making the statements. Another person at the residence also told investigators he witnessed Cantrell threaten to kill Justin Gullett.
Cantrell is charged with residential burglary, intimidating a witness, terroristic threatening, interference with emergency communication, and being a habitual offender. His bond was set at $50,000.
