EMPHASIS: Dade County Murder Arrest







Captain Luke Vislay, Director of the Division of Drug and Crime Control, announces the arrest of Vicki Dixon, age 43, of Springfield, Missouri. Dixon was arrested during the evening hours of September 25, 2006, for the August 21, 2003, murder of Johnny Garrett.



Dixon was the former wife of Johnny Garrett who died from a single gunshot wound. Dixon is currently being held in the Dade County Jail after being arrested for Murder in the 1st Degree and Armed Criminal Action. The Troop-D Investigations Unit of the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Dade County Sheriff’s Office were able to connect Dixon to the murder after recent developments in the case.
