The Kansas Attorney General’s Office has issued a gag order to all investigating agencies associated with an alleged murder that took place at the Barton County Fair on July 13.

Four people are in custody in connection with the death of fair vendors Sonny and Pauline Carpenter of Wichita.

Great Bend Police Chief David Bailey was a guest Wednesday on “City Edition” on 1590 KVGB and 97.7 FM, and was able to discuss how the four suspects were apprehended in Arkansas which eventually led to the discovery of the Carpenter’s bodies in a forest near Van Buren, Arkansas.

Bailey says that any murder trial that would take place would be conducted in Barton County which means the process is underway to get those four individuals back to Kansas.

Michael Fowler, Rusty Frazier and Kimberly Younger, also known as Myrna Khan continue to be jailed in Crawford County, Arkansas while the investigation continues. Last week a fourth suspect, 37-year-old Christine Marie Tenney of Santa Fe, Texas was also taken into custody.

Crawford County Sheriff’s Detective Jonathan Wear believes the Carpenters were killed July 13 after meeting the carnival workers as the couple sold crafts, jewelry, purses and other handmade items during the Barton County fair.
