On Tuesday July 25 1989, 18 year old Dana Stidham went home to do some laundry. She drove from her home in Centerton to where her parents Lawrence and Georgia lived in Hiwasse, Arkansas. 

After she put her clothes in the wash cycle, she headed out to run an errand for her dad. His stomach was upset and he needed some medicine. 

She left the Phillips food store - which is now a Harp’s grocery - in Bella Vista at 3:17 pm. 

We know this because the receipt was later found in her car, and the cashier and a lot of other people working in the store confirmed that she was there that day - she knew them because she worked there for three years in high school.

We’re going to explore some theories that have come up over the years and ask - was  this someone Dana knew, or a stranger, maybe even a serial killer?

On Friday, December 12, 1980 at approximately 6: 45 in the morning, the Mississippi County Sheriff’s Department got a call about a female body lying on the side of Highway 181, just south of Highway 158. 

The woman was dressed in a striped red colored dress and velveteen jacket and was five foot five. She weighed around 115 pounds. 

It wasn’t hard to figure out the cause of death - Barbara had massive holes blown into her body by a shotgun. The shots were so violent that pieces of her hair and skull were found 20 feet away. 

And just like in Amanda Tusing’s case, there were suspicions that a police officer may have been involved - and the murder is still unsolved.

On July 25, 1989, 18-year-old Dana Stidham had just graduated from high school in Gravette, Arkansas and had her whole life in front of her.

Dana had moved out on her own for the first time to Centerton where she was living with her older brother Larry and a cousin.

She was starting her life and excited about the future, but on that day, she had to do some laundry and like a lot of kids that age, she was going to do her laundry at home. And she was a little homesick; she wanted to spend some time with her dad. 

Her parents Lawrence and Georgia Stidham lived in Hiwasse, an unincorporated area in Benton County about a ten minute drive to where she liveD. So Dana drove home. She started doing a big pile of laundry with her dad. And then her dad said he was not feeling well, so he asked Dana to run some errands for him and she said yes.

She was planning on coming right back. She had clothes in the wash cycle, and her dad said that he would put them in the dryer if she wasn’t back by then.

There has been a lot of publicity about this case, but no real answers. 

We're going to try to relive the last day of Dana Stidham’s life and see if there's anything that was missed that can help get us closer to finding out what happened to her and who killed her.
