Dawna Natzke ,46yr, Missing 12/21/11 in Hot Springs Village, AR (BODY FOUND)

[Red]

I think its only a matter of time before the positive ID is made and the boyfriend is arrested.

His story makes no sense, especially when the vehicle found burned and body found close to home. She just wasn't there when he woke up in the morning. Really, is that the best he could do?

Red - I agree

Body found during search for missing Ark. woman

Arkansas authorities say searchers looking for a police dispatcher who has been missing for over a week have found a body several miles from her home.

Hot Springs Village police dispatcher Bill Scarcella says searchers found the body Saturday morning near Jessieville. He declined to say whether investigators believe the body is that of fellow dispatcher Dawna Natzke and said the body had not yet been positively identified.

Hazel Purvis Williams That is very true. With every step we took and every thing we saw it was just like could this be something. Our hearts are so heavy but yet thankful that she was found to be brought home where she belonged. Everyone of us had the feeling of that we wanted her found but yet in our minds we didn't want to be the one to make the discovery. There were people there searching that didn't even know her, friends of friends, young and old, some who had trouble walking themselves. One of her best friends for many years making sure everyone signed in and then making sure everyone returned safely sitting and crying. Now that she has been found lets all switch our prayers from "Lord help us find her" to "Lord help us make sure the person who did this never hurts anyone again". Someone, somewhere know something......U know who u are and yes I'm talking to you....u will be caught and u will be punished and we will have justice for our friend!!!!

Debbie Shingler, whose 46-year-old sister Dawna Natzke was last seen leaving a Dec. 21 Christmas party with her boyfriend, told The Associated Press that police notified her family that searchers found a body in a wilderness area about five miles from her home in Hot Springs Village and about five miles from where her burned-out car was found.

“They told us yes, they found a body, but it’s not confirmed to be Dawna, but we all know,” Shingler said.

“They don’t want to speculate anything until after the crime lab has done their investigation,” Shingler said. “I am sure if it wasn’t (Natzke’s body), they would be calling us.”

He's younger than I would have thought...28 years old.

In comparing the picture provided on vinelink and the one from facebook, imo it's the same person.

Body found, believed to be missing woman

Updated: 7:01 pm    Published: 11:34 am
GARLAND COUNTY, AR - Authorities say a body believed to be that of missing Hot Springs Village Police Dispatcher, Dawna Natzke, has been found.

Volunteers who participated in search efforts this morning tell us the body was found partially submerged in a pond on West Main Haul Road off Highway 298 in Garland County. The location is not far from where Natzke's burned car was found.

"We don't have but one missing person in this area that I'm aware of," said A.L. Cornett, director of the Hot Springs Village Police Department.

Police perplexed after Arkansas mom disappears
By JEANNIE NUSS, Associated Press – 1 hour ago 

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Dawna Natzke planned to have her family over for Christmas to open gifts and feast on steaks.

Yet, five days after the holiday, the presents in Natzke's home remain untouched.

Her family and friends haven't been able to embrace the holidays since Natzke, a police dispatcher in a gated community in central Arkansas, vanished last week. Instead, they fear that the mother of three is dead after someone found her station wagon burned in a forest not far from her Hot Springs Village home.

"It's been too long and no word, no clues, no anything," Natzke's mother, Doris Smith, told The Associated Press.

Natzke, 46, was last seen the night of a holiday party on Dec. 21. Searchers on horses and in a helicopter weren't able to find her by Friday. More planned to scour the tree-studded hills in four-wheelers during the weekend.

"Still, investigators have been hesitant to describe Natzke as a victim of foul play, even though her torched car turned up miles from her home in a remote part of the Ouachita National Forest that abuts the community.
 ::snipping2::
Natzke's boyfriend, Kevin Duck of Jessieville, told police the couple returned to her house following the party and that she was gone by the next morning, according to the timeline. Although there are security gates at each of the town's entrances, there are no video cameras that would have recorded her leaving the community of 13,000 that caters to retirees. The west entrance, which is closer to the spot where Natzke's car was found, always has someone at the gate. The east entrance is not manned between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
 ::snipping2::
By all accounts, Natzke is a loyal and giving woman: to her three sons, to her parents, to her family at the police station. She gave a kidney to her ill father, who likely would have died without the transplant. She built her life around her sons. The younger two — a junior and senior in high school — live with her; her oldest boy lives nearby. She had recently separated from her husband, who also didn't return calls Friday.

"She was a very loving person," Smith told the AP. The mother then paused and corrected herself: "She is a very loving person."

These are from Dawna's sister's facebook album, I think they are all probably at least a few years old from the descriptions. jmo

UPDATE - CONFIRMED LOCATION WHERE THEY FOUND DAWNA

Here is a pic of the pond where they found her.




At the crossing of hwy 298 and W Main Haul Rd go south on W Main Haul Rd until you get to the y in the road where Purdue Trail branches off to the east. The pond is directly east of the y.

It's approximately 1.8 miles from the Harding Lane/Hwy 298 intersection.

the body is probably Dawna..who else is missing in the area? very sad for her family, her and also for the boyfriends children if he indeed did do something to Dawna. So many families torn apart because of 1 selfish action of one person on another..Why can't people just walk away if they are angry ? sigh....very sad...

Autopsy Tuesday to determine if body is missing LC grad

HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE, Ark. — An autopsy will be performed Tuesday to identify a body found in a forest a few miles from a missing police dispatcher’s home.

Authorities have not yet said whether they think the body searchers found was that of 46-year-old Dawna Natzke, a 1984 Lake Central High School graduate. Lt. James Martin, Garland County Sheriff spokesman, was unavailable for comment Monday because of the holiday.

State Crime Lab identifies body as HSV woman

Updated: Jan 03, 2012 3:08 PM CST
 
The State Crime Lab has identified the remains found Saturday as the body of Dawna Natzke.

No other information; such as cause of death, time of death, etc. has been determined yet. More information will be given once an autopsy is completed.

Natzke, a police dispatcher for Hot Springs Village Police, was reported missing on Dec. 23 when she failed to show up at work. On Dec 21, Natzke was seen leaving a Christmas party with her boyfriend, 28-year-old Kevin Duck. Police say that Duck told them that he and Natzke returned to her home and that she was gone when he woke up the next morning.

Earlier, just before the call came in that a female body had been found, this reporter spoke with Luther Duck, father of Natkze’s boyfriend, Kevin Duck. Asked if he had spoken to son, Kevin, he said, “No, and I really don’t want to.”

“Kevin’s not allowed in our house because of his past violence,” said Luther.

Just then the call came in that a body was found.

Shortly thereafter it was said the body had been found near a pond. Luther said he had told Village police to check that pond five days ago.

The following day this reporter talked with a Village police officer who asked to remain anonymous. He said yes, the area had previously been searched, but not as thoroughly as on Saturday. Saturday’s search had many more searchers, much larger manpower.
