BARTON COUNTY —The Kansas Attorney General’s Office has issued a gag order to all investigating agencies associated with an alleged murder that took place at the Barton County Fair on July 13, according to Great Bend Police Chief David Bailey.

Four suspects are in custody in connection with the death of fair vendors Sonny and Pauline Carpenter of Wichita.

Bailey says that any murder trial that would take place would be conducted in Barton County which means the process is underway to get those four suspects back to Kansas.

Carnival workers Michael Fowler, Rusty Frazier and Kimberly Younger, also known as Myrna Khan continue to be jailed in Crawford County, Arkansas while the investigation continues. Last week a fourth suspect, 37-year-old Christine Marie Tenney of Santa Fe, Texas was also taken into custody.

Fowler told investigators that he shot the couple, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Crawford County Sheriff’s Detective Jonathan Wear believes the Carpenters were killed July 13 after meeting the carnival workers as the couple sold crafts, jewelry, purses and other handmade items during the fair.

According to the affidavit Fowler told police that Frazier and  Younger were with him when the couple was killed.
