    Coffee Tea and Crime | Butcher of OKC

    Send a text Serial Killer in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Cathy Lyn Shakelford, The first known victim was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation. She ran away at the age of 17 and lived homeless in Oklahoma City. The last sighting of her alive was two months before her death, when she was being treated at the Oklahoma City Hospital. Arley Bell Killian On April 19, 1979, children playing basketball in a park discovered a human head. Over the next few days, police found more of her remains scattered throughout the neighborhood. Some of the body parts were wrapped in bags and newspapers. The body parts had an odd absence of blood because the killer washed them before disposing of them. Her left hand, pelvis, head, shoe, and other parts of her flesh were found. Tina Marcia Sanders The final victim was 22-year-old, a homeless Native American woman. Her torso and left leg were found in an alleyway by a man walking in his backyard on March 6, 1986. Her head, which was set on fire, was found just a block away in a garbage bin the following week. She was quickly identified because of her tattoos. She was last seen just a day prior to her death.   Merch https://jrlawman-shop.fourthwall.com/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahom... https://www.oddmurdersandmysteries.co...
