Four people have been arrested in connection with the death of 38-year-old Ashley Beauclair of Marksville. Tim Ryan with the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office said in October her body was found in a wooded area north of Marksville and with the assistance of the FACES lab they were able to identify her remains.
25-year-old Sonny Ray Dauzat of Effie – 2nd-degree murder, criminal conspiracy, and obstruction of justice. Bond set at $1.1 million
29-year-old Keion Joseph Roy of Moreauville – criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Bond set at $200,000.
24-year-old Sophie Mae Badeaux of Marksville – criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Bond set at $200,000.

Dauzat, Roy and Badeaux were arrested Tuesday and on Thursday Heims was arrested in the case. Bond set at $200,000.
Sheriff David Dauzat said several law enforcement agencies have worked diligently to find those responsible for Beauclair’s death. Ryan said the APSO is committed to doing its best.
“To serve and protect the people of Avoyelles and make Avoyelles a safer and better place to live, work and raise a family that’s what we’re doing,” said Ryan.
He declined to give a motive and said the case had been turned over to the District Attorney’s Office. Ryan said while they don’t expect any more arrests in the case…
“It’s still an ongoing investigation, we’re still investigating the matter,” said Ryan.
