True Detective Season 3 to start filming in Fayetteville next month.

Well, when you get right down to it, serious crime (murder and what not) is fairly rare in NW Arkansas. The crime rate has ticked up a bit recently, but its still unusual to see something like that up in the hills.

The late Joan Hess (Fayetteville's greatest mystery writer) probably killed off 20 times more people in her books then were murdered in the city when she was alive.
