Dead bodies in Fort Smith vacant house ID'd; suspects arrested



On March 15, 2020, FSPD Officers responded to 400 N. 12th, a vacant house known to be frequented by local homeless people, regarding an unknown trouble. Upon arrival and subsequent search of the house, which was overflowing with trash, a deceased male, 40-year-old Terry Randell Beall, was located inside. The house was secured and the Criminal Investigations ID unit began processing the scene.


During the initial processing, a second body, 44-year-old Amanda Knecht, was also discovered in the house. Members of the Criminal Investigations Unit began locating and interviewing all people that were known to have been in or at the residence in the past.

During the investigation, two male subjects were identified as persons of interest and ultimately named as suspects. After an in-depth investigation, two warrants were obtained with the assistance of the Sebastian County Prosecutors Office and 54-year-old Marion Ray Brown and 61-year-old Mark Trenton Williams were arrested and charged with two counts each of First Degree Murder.
