In December 1987, Ronald Gene Simmons murdered a total of 16 people – including his wife, children and grandchildren – and wounded four others during a rampage that started near Dover and ended in Russellville.
This six-part series, which debuts Nov. 13, includes interviews with people who were permanently affected by what they saw, heard and learned during and after Simmons’ deadly spree. Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporter Tony Holt looks back on Arkansas’ biggest mass killing and its aftermath.
