Who was Nona Dirksmeyer?
Dirksmeyer was a 19-year-old music major at Arkansas Tech University, the reigning Miss Petit Jean Valley and a Miss Arkansas contestant. She was found brutally stabbed and beaten to death, reports say with the base of her own floor lamp, at her apartment in Russellville, Arkansas on Dec. 15, 2005, according to River Valley Now.
Dirksmeyer's neighbor and boyfriend were charged with her death, but both were later acquitted. Boyfriend Kevin Jones was acquitted of capital murder in 2007, while neighbor Gary Dunn was tried twice but never convicted.
Where is Gary Dunn today?
Dunn, 44, is currently in prison for attempting to kidnap at least three women including Miss Arkansas USA 2022 Rylie Wagner, KATV reported. He pleaded guilty during trial and accepted a plea deal for attempted kidnapping and indecent exposure charges, according to THV11. He is being held at the Arkansas Department of Correction - Wrightsville Unit and has been sentenced for 15 years, according to prison records.
He was incarcerated at the corrections facility at least 4 times, most recently in November 2019. Previous offenses include possession of firearms and second-degree battery, as per his prison record.
