Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Offense:
Mary had gone to work the night before after dropping her two young daughters off at her mother’s to spend the night. After work she spent time at home with a friend watching tv. But sometime in the hours between 12:45 am and 6:30 am someone came into Mary’s house and savagely ended her life. She was discovered when her mother came to the home to drop off Mary’s daughters the next morning. When Mary didn’t answer the door, her 7 year old climbed up to a window to peer inside. What she saw forever changed everything, she told her grandmother that her mother was sleeping, but all covered in blood. Mary was found clad only in a large tshirt and socks; she had been stabbed over 30 times and had very obviously tried to fight back.
Additional Details:
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is investigating her death. Their website confirmed that on June 4, 1988, Mary was found stabbed to death in her home in Comanche.
