Police Interrogation of Former Police Chief For Murder

Police Interrogation of Former Police Chief For Murder

Police Interrogation of Former Police Chief For Murder

on October 2017, Hardin, then 50 years old, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, admitting that he had killed James Appleton. Appleton pulled into a parking lot on Gann Ridge Road in Gateway, Arkansas on February 23, 2017, to talk with his coworker and brother-in-law on his cell phone. A passerby saw the pickup and a blue Chevrolet Malibu parked behind it.

The driver of the Malibu waved him around, the passerby told police, and when he was a few hundred yards away, he heard a bang and saw the Malibu speed toward him, before turning onto the dirt road where Hardin lived. With his family. And his blue Malibu. His wife Linda thought he had been outside spreading grass seed, but the passerby knew Hardin all his life. He was sure it was him.

Hardin was sentenced to 30 years in prison and was required to provide a DNA sample to the state. It was a match. Hardin had never even been a suspect, but on February 7, 2019 Hardin pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, finally closing the 1997 case. Hardin received 25 years on each of the two counts, which are running concurrently with his murder sentence. All in all, Hardin will serve at least 21 years of the 30-year murder sentence, and then another 14, before he is first eligible for parole at age 84.

Hardin had worked for four police agencies. He was fired from one, allowed to resign from one rather than be fired and resigned from two, always claiming his separation was on higher ground. For example, he claimed to have left Fayetteville Police Department because other officers were stealing and his work environment became intolerably hostile after he reported their theft. He resigned after seven months from Huntsville, stating that he refused to treat people unfairly, as was expected of him. A couple of departments later, and he found himself filing for unemployment. And being denied.

Hardin returned to the private sector, but kept his toe in law enforcement, serving two one-year terms as volunteer constable in Benton County. In 2016 Hardin became chief of police in Gateway, resigning after four months to earn an associate's degree in criminal justice at Northwest Arkansas Community College.

Hardin was working in corrections when he was arrested for Appleton's murder.

Hardin is now #168541 at Arkansas DOC's North Central Unit, where — apart from the whole murder and rape thing — he has no major disciplinary violations, has completed an anger management course, and in October 2017 was determined to be minimum risk classification.

To this day no one knows why he killed Appleton.

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?Stories of men catching their "perfect" wife cheating often highlight moments of heartbreak, betrayal, and shock, especially when the infidelity was unexpected. Here are common scenarios and ways men have discovered infidelity, often shared anonymously online or in real-life anecdotes:1. Suspicious BehaviorIncreased Secrecy: A wife suddenly became overly protective of her phone, using passwords or hiding messages.Changed Routines: Men noticed unusual work hours, frequent “girls’ nights,” or unexplained absences.Example: One man suspected something was off when his wife started staying late at work but never had a clear explanation. A surprise visit to her office revealed she wasn’t there.2. Technology Slip-UpsPhone/Texts: Finding flirtatious messages, suggestive photos, or incriminating chats on her phone.Social Media: Catching hints through tagged photos, private messages, or her behavior on social platforms.Shared Devices: Email or app notifications accidentally popping up on shared devices like tablets or smart TVs.Example: A husband received a text on their shared iPad meant for his wife, containing explicit details from her affair partner.3. Third-Party InformantsFriends or Family: Someone close spotted the wife with another man and felt compelled to share.Coworkers or Neighbors: Witnessing suspicious interactions and tipping off the husband.Example: A neighbor casually mentioned seeing the wife at a restaurant with someone who wasn’t her husband—on a day she was supposedly out of town.4. Gut InstinctBehavioral Changes: Sudden coldness, a lack of intimacy, or being overly defensive about small things.Intuition: A strong feeling that “something isn’t right” led men to investigate further.Example: One man felt uneasy when his wife kept “forgetting” her wedding ring. After a bit of digging, he discovered her affair with a coworker.5. Accidental DiscoveryCaught in the Act: Walking in unexpectedly or arriving home earlier than planned.Incriminating Evidence: Finding hotel receipts, gifts, or unusual purchases.Example: A man came home from work early one day to find his wife and her lover in their bedroom.6. Hired a Private InvestigatorSome men, feeling certain but lacking proof, have hired private investigators to confirm their suspicions.Example: A PI followed the wife to a hotel during a “business trip” and provided photographic evidence of her affair.7. Confessions or Slip-UpsUnintentional Confession: The wife let something slip during a fight or casual conversation.Guilt Confession: She admitted to the affair after struggling with guilt.Example: During a heated argument, a wife accidentally blurted out, “Well, at least he listens to me!” — leading to an unraveling of the truth.8. Unusual Financial ActivityBank Statements: Seeing charges for unexplained dinners, gifts, or trips.Unaccounted Expenses: Finding receipts for items that weren’t for the household or family.Example: A husband noticed repeated charges at a luxury hotel and eventually discovered his wife was meeting someone there.9. Friends of the Affair PartnerOccasionally, the affair partner’s friends or significant others have tipped off the husband.Example: The affair partner’s girlfriend found out and contacted the husband to reveal the truth.10. Emotional DetachmentChecked Out: The wife became emotionally distant, less engaged, and uninterested in shared activities.Focus on Someone Else: Overpraising a "friend" or constantly talking about someone new.Example: A husband noticed his wife’s emotional energy was directed toward a “new coworker” she couldn’t stop talking about, which led to the discovery of an affair.Common Themes After DiscoveryDevastation and Shock: Men often describe feeling blindsided, especially if they believed their relationship was strong.Confrontation: Many describe how they confronted their wives, and reactions varied from denial to tearful apologies.Moving On: Some men ended the relationship, while others chose to work through it, depending on the context and willingness to rebuild trust.Men, perfect wife, cheating, infidelity, betrayal, suspicion, affair, red flags, secret messages, phone activity, social media, unusual behavior, gut instinct, confrontation, private investigator, technology slip-ups, third-party informants, accidental discovery, emotional detachment, financial clues, hidden affair, guilty confession, caught in the act, unusual routines, trust issues, relationship breakdown, marital problems, incriminating evidence, hidden secrets, coping with infidelity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
