On January 14, 1991, a woman was seen walking along a Fayetteville street. Hours later, she was discovered partially clothed in a rural Washington County ditch—alive, but barely. Within 90 minutes, she was gone. More than three decades later, the death of Debra Ann Landreth Adams remains one of Northwest Arkansas’ most haunting cold cases.

In this episode of Crime in the Ozarks, we break down what is known—and what remains unsettlingly unclear—about Debra’s life, her final hours, and the investigation that followed. With scarce records, conflicting reports, and a case that seemingly slipped into the shadows, we explore how a woman with no apparent support system could vanish into obscurity even in death.

We’ll never stop keeping a watchful eye on Crime in the Ozarks.

Halloween is usually a night where fear meets fun—a holiday for finding joy in the things that scare us. But Halloween night in 1995, the horrors became all too real in Rogers when 50-year-old Ernestine Andregg was stabbed to death in her own home. Thirty years later, police have yet to make an arrest. And while several suspects were developed in the aftermath of the killing, each was eventually dismissed.
Who killed Ernestine Andregg?
Why has the case never been solved?
And is this a mystery lost to time—or does someone out there hold the missing piece of information that could finally bring her killer to justice?
In this episode of Crime in the Ozarks, a Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette podcast, we look at who Ernestine was, what happened that Halloween night, and the lingering questions that still haunt investigators and her family three decades later.

On the morning of April 7, 2023, 32-year-old Deunrae Livingston was shot inside a Springdale apartment. Despite witnesses, leads, and even a person of interest, no arrests have been made—and his family is still searching for justice more than two years later.

In this episode of Crime in the Ozarks, we look at who Deunrae was, the events surrounding his killing, and what investigators and loved ones are still asking today: Was this a random act of violence or a targeted attack? Why hasn’t anyone been brought to justice? What’s next in the search for answers?
