A multi-state search continues for Dawn Rene Wynn, the 49-year-old woman who allegedly went on the run last week while awaiting trial for her husband’s 2021 murder.
The McDonald County Sheriff’s Office warns in a statement that Wynn is likely armed and dangerous and should not be approached if seen.
On the same note, her 24-year old daughter, Savannah Wynn said, “I don’t know what she is capable of … what her intentions are.”
Wynn was out on bond and on pre-trial release, where she had to check in by telephone, but failed to do so last week.
Wynn had been charged with the Nov. 16, 2021, murder of her 51-year-old husband, Harold Lee Wynn. Investigators confirm Harold was shot in the back of the head as he slept in the couple’s camper in Anderson, Missouri.
Wynn testified to police, “I was aroused from my sleep by fatal gunfire and I called 911 after seeing the blood.”
Wynn has maintained her innocence since the murder took place.
As part of her bond conditions, Wynn had been staying with her mother in Pea Ridge, Arkansas. Police have been alerted to be on the lookout in several states, including Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina.
“My dad was a very outgoing man who loved people,” says Savannah Wynn, adding that her dad owned a successful plumbing business. “He pretty much didn’t know a stranger. He loved to make anybody’s day, to make them smile, make them happy and brighten their day.”
“He loved his kids and he did everything he could for us,” Savannah says.
Savannah, who gave birth to a baby boy three months ago, says that she continues to mourn the death of her loving father, adding that she has not seen or spoken to her mother since the day her dad was killed.
“My mom, she is very manipulative,” Savannah confides. “She was very abusive, as far as verbally, psychologically and mentally to us kids and my dad. We grew up dealing with that. She always had to be in control.”
Savannah said when she learned that her mother, who she later referred to as greedy and selfish, might be let out on bail, she contacted local prosecutors and the Victim Advocates office for help.
“I begged them not to grant bond,” Savannah recalls. “I told them, ‘She will run. I don’t want her out.’ I’m pretty upset about it all.”
Savannah says police have hinted that they suspect money was the prime motive behind her dad’s killing.

Out on bail after shooting her husband in the back of the head while he was sleeping. What the hell is wrong with our justice system?
The so called justice system cares more about the bad guys and nothing for the victims. That’s wrong.
