Purdy man still awaits trial date for Willard couple murder

December 31, 2014
Charlea Mills


Robert Campbell, Purdy, is awaiting a trial date for his connection with the 2011 murder of Russell and Rebecca Porter of Willard. Campbell was one of five indicted for the murders in October 2012 after the bodies were found. 
One of the others charged,  Dusty Hicks, took a plea deal last week in Taney County to avoid facing a jury for the charge. The other three have all been convicted and are serving their sentences except for Campbell. Campbell is currently in the Taney County Jail without bond. His trial date has not yet been set.
Campbell is accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire of his nephew, Russell, and his wife, Rebecca. The Porters were shot execution-style. Campbell’s wife was also charged with perjury, but was found dead in their home last year after being released on bail.
