Border Patrol SOG don't mess around.
They live for days like yesterday.
Prolly had him boxed in within 2 hours & spent the other 5 messing with him.

Local & State Law Enforcement did a great job keeping Grant Hardin away from the community, ensuring Hardin didn't add to his victim list.

Now Mayor Tillman (the sister of the guy Grant murdered) can focus on Kevin Hamilton's case.
His family has waited 16 years for the truth to come out about who caused Kevin's death.
Law Enforcement, the Mayor....everybody refused to listen to what they knew about Kevin's death....until now.

⚠️PEA RIDGE ARKANSAS⚠️ Grant Hardin victims❓

Usually I only share current cases.
After speaking with some people in Arkansas regarding the escaped prisoner, Grant Hardin, I was asked to share 2 missing person cases.

Several locals have said they believe Grant Hardin may have had something to do with both of these cases.

A few days ago I shared the story about Kevin Lew-Andrew Hamilton after his family reached out, hoping to bring attention to Kevin's case.
He died as a result of being run off the road by Grant Hardin 16 years ago.
His family has advocated for him since he died, insisting Hardin is charged with his death.
They were ignored by local Law Enforcement & the Mayor for 16 years.
Finally....after the current Mayor accidentally mentioned Kevin's death in a news interview.... the DA in Benton County Arkansas has agreed to meet with Kevin's family.
Please see the post about Kevin. I will update that post with any information that Kevin's family ok's me to share.

Here are the other 2 cases
APRIL ANDREWS

🔺Nov. 18, 2006
🔹15-year-old April Andrews got into a brown truck near her home on Weston St in Pea Ridge Arkansas.
April was seen speaking to the man behind the wheel then went around the front of the vehicle and got into the passenger side of the truck.
She was never seen again.
🔹The only witness was an 8 year old girl who was friends with April. She was outside playing when she saw April get into the truck.
🔹She told her mother she was going to the Pea Ridge Church of the Nazarene to look at clothes the church was giving away.
The church was just down the street from April's home at King Lane Apartments.
🔹Pea Ridge officials classified April as an endangered runaway.
🟥April's mother did not tell her family members that April was missing until a year later.
🔹April's sister, Tonya, insisted she did not run away.

🔺2009
🔹Pea Ridge finally listed her as a missing person.

🔺2010
Benton County Sheriff’s Office took over the investigation.
Lt. Hunter Petray said investigators started from ground zero.
🔹April had a learning disability that made her a target for bullying in school.
Her functioning level was about that of a 10-year-old.

🔹Tonya Andrews Washburn, April’s half-sister, said from the beginning that April would not run away. She said she was shy and very timid around strangers.
Tonya is 17 years older than April.
Tonya created a Facebook group to help find her sister and remained hopeful.

🔺2013
🔹Anonymous letter led investigators to a pond in Benton County.
Investigators drained it and dug through the mud.
They found nothing.
🔹Law Enforcement identified the person who wrote the letter.
Turned out to be a concerned citizen who suspected someone that resided at April's apartment complex.
Law Enforcement conducted a search warrant at the person's residence, as well, and determined they had no involvement.

🔺2021
🔹April's mother, Tina Johnson, passed away.

🔺May 17, 2022
Tonya lost her battle with cancer. She was April's biggest advocate.
Her husband, Don Washburn, took over the page.

🔷During the investigation into April's disappearance, a Pea Ridge police officer also went missing.
Officer Cerilla Doyle took the initial report on April Andrews’ disappearance.
I'll share her story in a separate post.

🟥Several sources have told me that, in 2006, Hardin drove a truck like the one April got into.

🟥Another victim of Grant Hardin?
A family member of Kevin Hamilton reached out to me after reading 1 of my posts about escaped prisoner, Grant Hardin.
They told me about a car accident that took Kevin from them.
They also told me that they believe Grant Hardin ran Kevin off the road the day of the accident.
Here's the official report:
🔹On December 21, 2009, a fatal accident occurred on Gann Ridge Road in Garfield Arkansas claiming the life of 26-year-old Kevin L. Hamilton.
🔹The incident took place at 3:10 PM on Gann Ridge Road, west of Old Wire Road in Benton County, as reported by the Arkansas Department of Public Safety.
🔹Hamilton, a resident of Pea Ridge, was driving a 1996 Toyota Corolla eastbound when "he failed to negotiate a curve, causing the vehicle to overturn on the shoulder."
🔹He was partially ejected during the crash and pronounced deceased at the scene.
🔹The weather was clear, and the road was dry, indicating no adverse conditions contributed to the accident.
🔹The Arkansas State Police, led by Cpl. Greg Stevenson, investigated the crash. Hamilton’s body was transported to NW Medical Center in Bentonville, and his next of kin were notified.

🟥Days after the accident, Grant Hardin's wife, Linda, spoke to Kevin's family & told them that Hardin was responsible for the accident. She said she saw it happen. Linda & Grant lived on Gann Ridge Road.
🔸Kevin's family went straight to Law Enforcement and told them what Linda had said. Hardin was a police officer at the time.
🔸Benton County refused to look into the incident.
🔸Kevin's family went to Hardin's home to speak with his wife, again, about what she saw. Hardin was home & threatened them. They never got to speak to Linda Hardin after that.
🔸Kevin's family set up a memorial where the accident happened. Grant Hardin destroyed it. They put it up again & again, Hardin destroyed it.

🟥Kevin's family has spent the last 16 years trying to get SOMEBODY to listen to their story.
Now they may FINALLY have their prayers answered.

🟥Below is a video of Cheryl Tillman, the current Mayor of Gateway Arkansas.
Tillman's brother, James Appleton, was murdered by Grant Hardin in 2017.
Tillman's husband was the Mayor at that time & was on the phone with Appleton when he was shot in his work truck.

🟥Listen closely to what Tillman says at the end of this video.
Kevin's family immediately contacted the Mayor after seeing this video. She didn't respond.
🟥But the District Attorney DID. He also heard what Tillman said in the video & contacted Kevin's family.

🟥I'm not going to share any other specific details about this case until I get the "ok" from Kevin's family.

🟥I have some questions for Cheryl Tillman & her husband. I think a lot of people will have questions for them in the next few weeks. This is the FIRST TIME that Kevin's "accident" has been acknowledged by a county official & linked to Grant Hardin.

🟥Appleton's sister is now the Mayor of Gateway, Arkansas.
She & her family are terrified that Hardin will find them.
She made a statement regarding Hardin's escape:
“First of all, 30 years wasn’t enough. He should have gotten life, but things happen, and that’s all they could get. This time, they need to throw away the key,” said Cheryl Tillman.

🟥Linda Hardin is STILL married to Grant.
She doesn't't believe her husband committed these crimes.
Linda thinks that they’ll be together again one day as she loves him with all her heart and believes that God does too.
She wanted her husband to state that he was innocent in court but he didn’t.
She says it hasn’t affected her opinion or their relationship in any way.

🟥MY OPINION: I think this guy has done more than just these 2 violent crimes. Curious what his wife & daughter think.
