Police confirm new information has developed in the three-year-old homicide case of Dr. David Millstein but will not make it public in an effort to protect the investigation.
"There is a lot of new information we have documented that is valuable in the case, but it's not anything we can discuss at this point," Mountain Home Police Chief Carry Manuel said Monday.
Millstein, 62, was found stabbed to death in his home in June 2006. He was a urologist with his own practice and also worked at Baxter Regional Medical Center.
Manuel emphasized that while investigators are constantly working on the case, they must be methodical in their investigation.
"We're still committed to putting together a good case," Manuel said, adding investigators are working closely with 14th Judicial District Prosecutor Ron Kincade. "We're continually moving forward on it. We just feel like there's some issues that need to be covered and the prosecutor sees some more work that needs to be done on the case."
One investigator with the police department and an investigator with Arkansas State Police are primarily working on the case and have documented a "tremendous amount" of information, Manuel said.
Police believe an arrest will be made at some point but do not want to jeopardize the case by releasing any details, as they want to have the best chance for a successful prosecution, Manuel said.
"We're narrowly focused and continue to be," Manuel said. "There's just a little bit more information we need to come across that we need to give to our prosecutor."
