An Ozark County woman awaiting trial for murder and assault for a woman she was a caregiver for, and has been arrested twice since being let out of jail on those charges, has been arrested again. Fifty-eight-year-old Patricia Anna Santos-Duvalier of Dora is facing 28 charges for stealing guns earlier this year.

to the probable cause affidavit from the Ozark County Sheriff’s Office, they received a report of about 30 firearms, ammunition, a safe, jewelry and clothing had been stolen from a home in Tecumseh, allegedly by Santos-Duvalier. The owner gave specific details about several of the guns.




In early June, it was learned Santos-Duvalier had stored the firearms in the home of a person who lived in West Plains and was in a nursing home there.

In late June, that person passed away. Ozark County law enforcement went to the residence and a family member allowed them to search the home for the guns. They recovered 19 rifles and nine pistols along with ammunition, holsters, scabbards and a gun vice. The several of the guns were identified using the details given by the owner previously.

Santos-Duvalier is facing 28 felony counts of stealing a firearm. She is being held in the Ozark County Jail.

Santos-Duvalier was arrested in January on charges of second degree murder and first degree assault in the death of a 38-year-old severely mentally handicapped woman from Tecumseh who died in October Santos-Duvalier was the caregiver for.

According to the probable cause affidavit from the MSHP, the victim was found dead in the front yard of her residence in Tecumseh. The autopsy determined the cause of death to be undetermined due to internal blood loss, however numerous injuries were visible all over the victim’s body.

During an interview with law enforcement, Santos-Duvalier denied causing the injuries, but law enforcement say she lied about being in the victim’s vehicle and her whereabouts prior to calling 911.
