Case History
The victim was found dead in May 1999, by a farmer in an Oklahoma field located 12 miles southeast of Guymon, 33 feet from the center of Texas County Road GG, approximately two and one-half miles east of a paved roadway, Highway 136 South, approximately two miles from the Texas border.
The farmer was pulling a disc plow when the equipment hooked onto the end of what authorities described as an "elongated tarpaulin wrapped bundle." The bundle was tightly sealed with gray duct tape. Authorities said the plow drug the bundle into a field, opening it and scattering a number of human bones.
The only thing authorities had to go by in identifying the man was an object discovered in his pocket depicting possible employment for the man. Authorities checked out that lead, to no avail.
The evidence indicates that he was kicked and stomped to death. He wasn't shot, but he could have been stabbed. There were some marks that appeared to be cut marks in the sternum.
