Details are sketchy at this point, but authorities in Douglas County are investigating a murder (09-10-10) near a roadside park on Highway 5 between Ava and Mansfield.
The newly appointed coroner of Douglas County, Rick Miller, says the body has been sent to the Greene County Medical Examiners Office for autopsy. However, Dr. Doug Anderson with the GCME and Dr. Keith Norton with Southwest Missouri Forensics are both out of town, so it appears that the body may have to be sent to Columbia for autopsy.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control is assisting Douglas County Sheriff's deputies in the investigation.
The name of the victim has not been released pending the notification of the next of kin.

UPDATE 09-15-10:
-
Douglas County Sheriff Chris Degase says a custody dispute is what allegedly led to the murder of a man from Wright County.
April D. Quick, 32, and Aimee L. Herring, 29, both of Mountain Home, AR, have been charged with first-degree murder, robbery and armed criminal action in connection to the shooting and stabbing death of forty two year-old Phillip Taylor.
-
Court documents reveal that Taylor is the father of three of Quick's children and had not seen them in about eight years. It is alleged that Quick agreed to meet Taylor at the roadside park to discuss a visitation schedule and he was ambushed. The robbery charge stem from the women allegedly taking Taylor's cell phone after he was murdered.
Only one of the women will be extradited back to Missouri as there is no way to keep the women segregated in the Douglas County jail.
The Baxter County Sheriff's Office and Mountain Home Police Department assisted the Highway Patrol and Douglas County authorities in the investigation.
