Hell and Gone Murder Line: Dana Stidham Part 2

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?
