Michael Scott Roberts, Murder still unsolved on six-year anniversary of pilot’s death
Michael Scott Roberts, 40, was found dead in his Texarkana, Ark., home July 2, 2015, by family members who were concerned by unanswered phone calls.
Roberts was a pilot who flew charter flights and a father of
one. Roberts’ brother found his lifeless body six years ago.
The murder remains unsolved.
“We grieve with the Roberts family and hope that the one
lead needed to solve this case happens soon,” Texarkana, Ark., Police
Department spokeswoman Kristi Bennett told TXK Today in a news release two
years ago. “We know that someone knows something, and however insignificant
that person may feel the information is, we implore you to come forward and
share it with us.”
Bennett said the department is leaving no stone unturned.
“All evidence, information, leads, and tips have been
followed up on immediately,” Bennett said. “We have sought assistance from the
FBI Little Rock and the Texarkana office as well as a retired Texas Ranger
homicide investigator, who spent his entire career investigating homicides and
now spends his time as a consultant.”
Bennett said investigators are actively following the trails
of suspects who have been developed since the killing. Roberts’ murder is the
only unsolved murder on the books in Texarkana, Ark., Bennett said. Roberts was
shot multiple times and police don’t believe theft was a motive.
“We have assembled the puzzle that paints a broad picture of
Scott’s life and all we need is that one piece of the puzzle to further this
investigation and bring justice to the person or people who committed this
act,” Bennett said. “We won’t give up. We will have a complete resolve before
we are done.”
