In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, your host Lisa discusses the horrible murder of 19 year old Nona Dirksmeyer in December 2005.

In Part 2, we will discuss the time after Kevin Jones acquittal in July 2007. There would be a break in the case and a new suspect would emerge. An ex-convict named Gary Dunn that lived right across from Nona at the Inglewood Apartments.

We will discuss Gary's prior conviction in 2002; go over Gary's arrest in August 2008, the 2 mistrials and all the details around them up until the time Gary is let go in April 2011.

We will also get into the what Gary does after he's released in 2011 leading up to current day shocking information.

This is a very hard case to dive into--we will remember Nona and her legacy and we will not give up on hope of justice for Nona.

Listen to hear full details.
