A woman is in custody alleged to have committed murders in both Arkansas and Missouri.

According to court documents, 32-year-old Taylor Santiago turned herself into authorities of the Aurora-Marionville Police Department saying she had killed her estranged husband at her residence in Aurora. Officers found the man dead and took Santiago into custody. During her interview, Santiago admitted to luring him to her house to kill him, steal his car, then drive to Carroll County to also shoot her former lover and his current lover. 

In a previous report of the Facebook Post from Carroll County Sheriff Daniel Klatt, he stated that deputies went to a location in Carroll County and discovered two victims, a female that was deceased and a male that was wounded and was taken to an area hospital where he is in serious condition. While the Carroll County report does not indicate the location of the residence, Ozarks First is reporting the location to be near Eureka Springs. 

Both agencies are continuing the investigation into both incidents while Santiago is being held without bond in the Lawrence County Jail in Mount Vernon.  

A recap of the information available can be found on the Ozarks First Website.
