\u2014 a man he allegedly had multiple disputes with, according to the HBO documentary &#8220;Devil in the Ozarks.&#8221; The fatal shooting happened following Hardin&#8217;s brief time as the police chief of the small town of Gateway, Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>He was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder.<\/p>\n<p>Hardin&#8217;s DNA was then matched to the 1997 rape of a teacher at an elementary school in northwestern Arkansas. He pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for each count, for a total sentence of 50 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story.
