Judge John Homer Wright lowered alleged murderer Kevin Conway Duck's bond from $250,000 to $150,000 with no stipulations. Duck made bond December 31, exactly two years after the body of his alleged victim, Hot Springs Village police dispatcher Dawna Natzke was discovered in the Ouachita National Forest area. Natzke died of blunt force trauma and drowning. Duck was the last known person to see Natzke alive.
The next court date in this matter is February 10 at 8:30 a.m. at the Garland County Courthouse. In the meantime, Duck will be staying with his mother on Rynders Road in Jessieville.

Black ice taking over Village
Right now, the Village is closed. There is black ice all over the roadways and at least 20 slide-offs. POA public works employees are out sanding DeSoto Boulevard and some of the well-known trouble spots but today, unfortunately, everywhere is a trouble spot.
The Coronado Fitness Center is closed. All churches are sending out notices of closure and if you haven't received a notice call before going anywhere.
If the temperatures rise above freezing or if the sun comes out and melts some of the black ice, we may be able to get out and about later today, but for now, stay home and stay safe.
