Two charged in 2012 Pittsburg Co. homicide investigation

SUMMARY: Two suspects, Marais Ballard and Billy Thomas, were arrested last week in connection with the murder of Barbara Durrant, a case that dates back to her suspicious disappearance in September 2012. Durrant, 54, was missing for months before her remains were discovered in Wilburton, Oklahoma, in 2020. The medical examiner determined she died from a gunshot wound. Following the arrests, Ballard was apprehended by U.S. Marshals in Louisiana, while Thomas was already in custody. The involved officers are currently on routine administrative leave.
