Scarlett Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/15/us/oklahoma-river-missing-bikers-search/index.html This is terrible. I had not even heard of them being missing. I can’t even imagine what this could be. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinball Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 My first thought is that it is drug related however it happened, it’s sad. 4 men in the prime of their life… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2scouts Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Oh wow. I thought it was very strange that four men went off on a bike ride together and were suddenly missing. The story says they left at 8 pm which would have been after dark and not a likely time for a recreational bike ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) An update confirms it is the 4 missing men. Shot and partially dismembered. A witness says the 4 we’re planning to commit a crime. And they have a person of interest identified along with his make, model and tag of vehicle. Just sickening.

Did it have to do with stealing catalytic converters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard that specifically but the guy they are searching for owns a salvage yard so it could be. They have found his car in a nearby town. They think he is suicidal. They think he acted alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 This is totally creepy and horrible sounding. It seems like the sort of thing that would be on one of these true crime documentaries. It sounds like they were up to nothing good and someone worse got to them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 A KOTV reporter said the missing "person of interest," Joe Kennedy, is currently on a 10 year delayed sentence for a 2013 conviction for assault with a deadly weapon after he shot at several men (wounding one) that he claimed broke into his salvage yard. I was wondering why the victim of a crime who shot the criminals in self-defense would go to the trouble of dismembering and dumping the bodies instead of just calling the police, but maybe he thought this would reinstate the 10 yr sentence plus add another 10? I still think there may be more to it than just a few guys wanting to steal some scrap metal, because they apparently boasted to a 5th person, who declined an invitation to join them, that the robbery they planned was "big enough for all of them," which sounds more lucrative than grabbing some scrap and reselling it at another junk yard. Even catalytic converters are only worth a few hundred each, if that — and they were on bicycles so they'd have had to steal a truck at the same time in order to move them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It sounds like a creepy Halloween movie plot. Crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I think the weirdest part of this story is that they were on bikes 🚲 Not a good get-away vehicle! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds so middle school. So was it actually the scrapyard guy, or…. Vecna? (this is awful, I really shouldn’t joke, it’s just so bizarre, like an episode of criminal minds) Edited October 18, 2022 by Grace Hopper 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 So we had a guest for dinner Sunday night. Longtime friend of Dh and his sister. He is a lifelong resident of Okmulgee where these murder took place. He said these four men on bikes were well known thieves and yes they pulled wagons around behind their bikes. Our friend knows Joe very well. He also said everyone knows not to mess with Joe Kennedy. And the working theory is Joe was lying in wait for them. Our friend knows Joe very well. Apparently everyone knows not to mess with Joe. Also I just read 3 family members filed a wrongful death suit against Joe and his wife. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
