Deputy Scott Arner
January 4, 2002
Jasper County, Missouri
Deputy Scott Arner, 43, a resident of Neosho, died during an investigative dive in a mine pit northwest of Joplin, Missouri.
Jasper County Sheriff Bill Pierce said Arner and others were searching the ice-covered water for a body during an investigation into a possible homicide when the veteran deputy failed to come to the surface.
He was pulled from the water by other divers and taken to a Joplin hospital, but efforts to revive him failed. An autopsy showed that Arner drowned.
