Today marks the two-year anniversary of the unsolved murder of a local pilot who was shot to death in his Texarkana, Ark., home.
Scott Roberts, 40, was found by family members who went to check on him at his house in the 1800 block of Garland Street because they had been unable to contact him by phone. Roberts had been shot multiple times.
While no arrests have been made in connection with the killing, Texarkana, Ark., police have not shelved the case.

Interviews have been conducted in the last 14 days in regards to this open investigation and we are currently working with the Roberts family in an effort to keep this case in the spotlight as we seek any new information anyone may have," said Texarkana, Ark., police Capt.
