Circumstances of Discovery
The victim was located 8 miles west of Decatur, Arkansas off of
Highway 102 in Rogers, Arkansas on May 7, 1990. This area is
close to the Oklahoma and Missouri state lines.
Several bones were recovered along with what appeared to be
shotgun wadding. Buckshot pellets (#4) were found in the ground
under the skull. A neighbor reported seeing a fire in the area
in February 1990, but never went to investigate. He believed
someone was burning trash.
Investigators believe the victim or the bones may have been run
over with a vehicle to make identification difficult or
impossible. After the victim had been shot, she was set on fire.
There wasn't enough remains to provide for a reconstruction.

BONE WOMAN
Her remains were found in 1990 in Maysville. Someone set the
body on fire with gasoline. She was believed to be between 25
and 35 years old.
Othram was able to develop a DNA profile and find her relatives.
One was unaware of having a missing relative, but another
reported having a family member missing since 1989. The missing
relative was identified as Donna Sue Nelton, 28.
Nelton originally was from Arkansas but was living in Kansas
City, Petray said.
Her boyfriend was George Alan Bruton, who had spent time on the
FBI's Most Wanted List from 1979 to 1980 for shooting two police
officers in Utah. He was sent to prison and released on parole
in 1988.
Bruton and Nelton were known to pass through Benton County and
stayed at the Pine Island RV Park in Jay, Okla., Petray said. A
flyer for the park was found near the body, Petray said.
Bruton and an associate were seen throwing Nelton's belongings
in a trash receptacle, and one source indicated Bruton admitted
killing someone named "Donna," Petray said.
Bruton was sentenced to life imprisonment for drug charges and
died in 2008 in prison, Petray said.
Nelton's case is closed, Petray said.
