The moved to Arkansas from California, which is unusual -- maybe they are natives?

From the photos, it almost looked like the wife was a POC? A mixed race couple in the current times might attract attention in Arkansas?

Could also be something like a business deal gone wrong or trying to avoid a family/custody issue. It might be random, but I think most people would take their kids and drive away if their spouse had just been attacked by a random person, rather than leaving two kids too young to drive and going back to fight an unknown attacker.

Arkansas has the highest population of Marshallese people outside of the Marshall Islands. Not that the wife is necessarily Marshallese, just that it's more diverse than you might expect.

Did the woman know her husband was attacked before she took her young daughters to the car? If she didn't know, how would she think to "drive away"? She returned to where her husband was after her kids were in car.

And it's about 20 miles south of Univ of Arkansas which could have a higher population of POC as many college areas do.

Higher is still pretty low:

Racial/Ethnic Breakdown:
71.9% White
10.3% Hispanic or Latino
4.42% Two or More Races
4.14% Black or African American
2.8% Asian

I think the most likely thing is there was some kind of threatening engagement enough to remove the kids but she probably assumed it was something along the lines of a bar fight and not a double murder, in which case it would make sense to bring the girls to safety and go check out your husband vs speed away leaving him to fend for himself.

Theory: they were in witness protection and had just been moved to Arkansas.

-1 People in witness protection programs don't have social media accounts going back more than a decade. https://www.newsweek.com/parents-murdered-devils-den-arkansas-hiking-park-children-2104938

Hiking is just as distasteful as this camping.

How do you know they moved from California? I didn't see that in the linked stories. Said they moved to AK recently.
