RE: Fellow Bowhunter Killed by Poacher
Hopefully someone can recognize the description of the truck.His memorial fund will be dedicated to programs to benefit hunting, be it Hunter's Safety Programs, Youth Hunting programs, KBA Youth programs or Scholarship benefits, anything to do with getting young kids into hunting and the outdoors sports. His father said that any kid that gets involved in hunting will be a good citizen, like all that have come to support the family.
Memorial Funds could be sent if anyone is interested in doing so
They can be sent to:
Beau Arndt Memorial Fund
C/O Roberts-Blue-Barnett Funeral Home
605 State Street
Emporia Kansas, 66801.

Witnesses in the area described a truck they'd seen as a late 1970s model Ford pickup with a standard cab and Shawnee County license plate. Eichorn says that a witness now believes there were three men inside, not the four officials originally thought.
The cab and front end of the truck are red; the pickup bed is orange. The rear of the bed has an old Ford logo described as three blocks ; one large, one medium and one small.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Lyon County Sheriff's Office at 342-5545, Lyon County Crimestoppers at 342-2273 or 1-800-KS CRIME.
