The SCSO contacted ASP on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024, after locating Amanda Stansbery, 43, deceased in her home.
Officers conducted a welfare check at the Chipley Road home after her husband, Jeffrey Stansbery, 75, told staff at the Cox Medical Center in Branson, Mo., that he had harmed his wife. Jeffrey Stansbery entered the hospital complaining of a medical condition.
Jeffrey Stansbery has been charged with felony capital murder and felony abuse of a corpse. He is being held in Branson and is awaiting extradition to Searcy County.
