On a quiet Thursday in the small town of Subiaco, Arkansas, the community was unsettled by the discovery of a local man's death. Frank Edward Schluterman, a 74-year-old white male, was found deceased in his home on North Leo Avenue on November 19, 2020. Authorities responding to the scene found him with what appeared to be a gunshot wound, immediately casting a shadow of suspicion over the circumstances of his death.
The initial investigation, a joint effort between the Logan County
Sheriff's Office and the Arkansas State Police, was fraught with uncertainty. The central question looming over the case was whether Schluterman's death was a homicide or a suicide. As investigators processed the scene and the coroner took possession of his body for an examination at the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory, the community held its breath, awaiting answers that would not come easily.
In the weeks that followed, the investigation took a dramatic turn with the emergence of a disturbing video. The footage showed Frank Schluterman being physically assaulted by two individuals at a residence he owned in Subiaco. This incident reportedly took place in early November 2020, while Schluterman was attempting to evict the tenants from the property. The Logan County Sheriff's Department identified a man and a woman as the assailants in the video.
Despite this development, the path to justice remained unclear. The male suspect seen in the video was already incarcerated on unrelated charges. Investigators submitted the video and other evidence to the prosecuting attorney's office for review, hoping the crime lab's report would establish a definitive link between the assault and Schluterman's death. However, as of the latest available information, no arrests have been made in direct connection with his death. The investigation officially remains open, with authorities continuing to follow up on leads and interview witnesses, leaving a family and a community still searching for resolution.
