LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputies are reporting that they have located the body of missing real estate agent Beverly Carter.
Arron Lewis' charges will be amended to Capital Murder.
After over 12 hours of interviewing by Investigators, Lewis was transported and booked into the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility (PCRDF). Shortly after he was booked, investigators obtained information that led them to the 12100 block of Hwy 5 (Cabot city address in Pulaski County). Investigators located a body in a shallow grave on the property. The body was identified as Beverly Carter. The family was then notified of the finding.
Arron Lewis' charges will be amended to Capital Murder. Lewis remains in the PCRDF on his charges and a parole hold for the Arkansas Department of Corrections.
Lewis was originally booked on kidnapping charges around 12:40 Tuesday morning. He was being held on a one million dollar bond.
Search crews from all over the state were in Scott Monday and many will be back at sunrise combing fields and forests looking for any sign of Carter. Minden says they're still focusing on the southeast part of the county. "That was the location where she was last known to be so that was where we hedged our bet on searching," he added. "What we're trying to piece together is what is that connection? Why did he pick Ms. Carter? We don't know."
