Visitation for Russell “Rusty” Porter will be held on October 1, at 11:00 a.m. at Glad Tidings Assembly of God on Atlantic Street in Springfield. Funeral services will follow at 1:00 p.m.
Services for Becky Porter were held in August in Crane. Rusty Porter’s remains were identified by MRI imaging from a recent surgery and DNA.
Officials have refused to say how the Porter’s were murdered, however, sources close to the investigation say they were shot to death.
Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott says his office along with the Taney County Sheriff’s Office are following leads in the double homicide and asks anyone with information regarding the Porter’s deaths to call 417-868-4040 – 417-546-7250 or 9-1-1.
