The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office has issued felony arrest warrants for a couple allegedly being sought in the death of an elderly man.
A press release from the sheriff’s office says a vehicle belonging to 85-year old Herbert Deaton was located in a Kmart parking lot in Abilene.
Authorities are looking for 48-year old Robert Kelly Mounts and his girlfriend, 29-year old Ashley Nicole Lewis.
Deaton was reported missing in early November after failing to show for a doctor’s appointment. A couple of days later he was found dead just feet away from his house.
The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office is saying Deaton’s death is homicidal violence. The couple is said to be traveling with their 6-month old daughter and are considered armed and dangerous.
