The Death of Olivia "Janie" Ward

On Sept. 9, 1989, 16-year-old Janie left her home and went to a party with classmates at her cousin's Cabin in Searcy County, Arkansas. These weren't the typical people she hung out with. There were at least forty kids at the party. 

The kids at the party who claimed to have seen what happened to Janie said that she had fallen backward off the nine-inch porch. They thought that she had passed out. Her cousin was at the party and they claimed that he pulled her up on the porch, but noticed she wasn't breathing. She had been lying there for possibly around 30 minutes.

They placed her in the back of a pickup and took her into town for help as the cabin had no phone. The Paramedics arrived in the town square to help the girl, but it was no use. Paramedics noted that she was covered in sand and twigs.

It was found that Janie was wet. When her father went to identify her body he buttoned a button on her shirt noting that she was wet.  He also noticed a huge bruise on her neck. He also noticed that there was sand in her hair. One newspaper claimed that it in a postmortem picture of Janie showed her face bruised and scratched.

When they asked for an autopsy her body was sent to Little Rock Lab. She had arrived clean and was wearing different clothes than what she was wearing before. She was wearing a shirt that had a skull with a gaping mouth. Her family was beginning to suspect something was going on.

When the initial 1989 autopsy came out they claimed her neck snapped forward consistent with a fall. The man who did the autopsy was known for botched autopsies though. It was known her neck was broken though.

So another autopsy was done on her in 2004. In this finding, they found she had injuries from her head snapping back, like a car accident, hanging or a violent blow would do. Another autopsy was done and it was stated that she could have choked on food and had died the way she had.

 So what really happened to Janie that night? Was it murder or an accident?

Disappearance of Gary Lynn Mullinax

21-year-old Gary Lyn Mullinax was last seen in Benton, Arkansas on May 9, 1976, visiting his parents. Gary was separated from his wife at the time and went to see his daughter. According to his sister, he told her he was going to meet someone and be back in an hour. He was never seen again. It was uncharacteristic for him to not keep in contact.

A few days later his green 1970 Javelin was found parked on the side street off of Asher Ave. in Little Rock. Inside were his belongings including his wallet and keys. The area he was found was near his brother-in-law's shop building.

Rumors about Gary were going around that he was a driver for a drug dealer. That his job included dropping drugs off, pick up the money, and deliver cash back to the dealer. It was said he was trying to get out of it for his daughter and became an informant working with the FBI.

His sister remembered a time where the FBI came to the house to collect a gun her husband had bought from Gary. It turned out the gun was stolen and the agent told her that Gary was working with them with some drug cases.

Another rumor indicated that it may have been possible Gary was a witness to a murder and was in Witness Protection.

His original missing person's report was lost.

Gary was a 21-year-old white male. He was 5'4" to 5'6" and around 140 to 160 lbs. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He had previously fractured his left hip in a fall out of a tree and fractured his jaw on both sides in a car accident. He possibly was sporting a full beard or mustache.
