Two years after Arkansas police dispatcher Dawna Natzke was murdered, police in Colorado have arrested her then-boyfriend on a murder warrant, and intend to send him back for trial. Garland County officials issued the warrant for first-degree murder, saying they had used Duck’s cellular phone records to place him near the scene of Natzke’s car shortly before it was found on fire after her disappearance. The phone records also placed Duck near the location of Natzke’s body, which was found a week later in a national forest area, about five miles from the car’s location. Duck and Natzke attended a party on Dec. 22, 2011, and witnesses told police that Duck forced Natzke outside at about 11 p.m. and drove off with her. Natzke was never seen alive again. She was reported missing by co-workers when she failed to appears for a 6 a.m. shift one day later. Duck had been a person of interest all along, but no physical evidence linked him to the crime until cellular phone records were analyzed by an FBI expert. Natzke, 46, had been a dispatcher for the Hot Springs Village police department for seven years, and left behind two sons.
