Oklahoma group investigating unsolved 'OKC Butcher' murders
The nonprofit will review records and speak with witnesses as it looks for fresh evidence in three Oklahoma City killings that remain unsolved.
Next month, Oklahoma Cold Cases plans to reopen the investigation into the "OKC Butcher" murders, with Amanda Newland-Davis stating the nonprofit will dig through records to uncover new leads.
In 1986, police linked the murders of Cathy Shackleford, Arley Killian, and Marcia "Tina" Sanders, with remains discovered within one square mile—an area significantly altered by Interstate 235 construction.
Henry Lee Lucas, known as the "Confession Killer," falsely confessed to Killian's murder, while Newland-Davis noted Sanders used 12 different aliases, complicating the investigation.
Newland-Davis observed the killer appeared to taunt police by leaving additional remains in the same spot two or three days after the initial discovery of Killian's remains.
Oklahoma Cold Cases intends to continue digging through records for leads, as Newland-Davis emphasized the group will not stop simply because they cannot find individuals.
