April 14, 2025 · 88 min

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa and guest host Dorothy, will discuss the Murder of Billy Joe Holder.

On February 9, 1976, Billy Joe Holder (ex-Sheriff and current Agent with the Alcohol Beverage Control Department in Arkansas) was watching television in his living room with his wife June when all of a sudden he was shot by an assailant outside of his home.

This episode is a deep dive into the actual Arkansas State Police case file. In part 1, Lisa will go over the 60 + interviews and 400 page case file, that led the ASP and the FBI eventually to not just one assailant; but, to the arrest of four individuals for Capital Felony Murder charges.
