34 – Richard Winters
Richard Winters was a suspect in the Henry and Ives case who offered to cooperate. Winters was killed by a shotgun shot to the face during a robbery which was later determined to be a set-up.
Winters offered his cooperation to Prosecuting Attorney Dan Harmon, whose corruption was detailed in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette:
Former Prosecuting Attorney Dan Harmon ran his office as a criminal enterprise for six years, demanded money in return for dropping charges, possessed stolen drugs and assaulted a newspaper reporter, according to a federal indictment released Friday.
A federal grand jury in Little Rock charged Harmon, 52, of Benton, Sheridan businessman Roger C. Walls and Sheridan attorney William A. Murphy with violating the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act. The racketeering count targeting Harmon contains accusations of 11 separate crimes. He is also charged separately for 10 of the crimes.
“In reality, the defendants operated the Seventh Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as a conduit to obtain monetary benefits to themselves and others, and to participate in and conceal criminal activities,” the indictment states.
Further, Jean Duffey, who headed the Drug Task Force investigation of the Mena drug running, which is connected to the Henry and Ives murders, claimed:
Ms. Duffey attributes the “smear campaign” and subpoena that forced her from the state to Dan Harmon, who had won the Democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney for the Seventh Judicial District.
