Mountain Home, AR. – A plea has been changed regarding the murder case of a Mountain Home man back in 2019.
The murdered individual was Tyler Wade Pickett, and in 2019 he had gone missing as early as April. When his remains were finally discovered in December, information had also come to light regarding a person of interest with the case.
Edward Davis, 29 of Norfork, and Jeffery Shepherd, 40 of Mountain Home, were arrested shortly thereafter, charged with 1st Degree Murder & Battery. A jury trial was scheduled for Davis yesterday, September 28, but it was canceled and Davis had changed his plea to guilty, earning him a sentence of 35 years in prison.
While Davis did admit to the murder, a motive has not been revealed. He is currently serving time in prison on charges separate from the murder case.
