Carter County District Attorney Ron Worthen, and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) agent and Ardmore police were at the scene late Tuesday morning waiting for an OSBI lab team from Oklahoma City.

Shirley Stinson, a neighbor, said she heard a "banging noise" around 1 a.m. and got out of bed to check. "My son had just gotten home from work and was writing a letter to his girlfriend. So I didn't think much about it," the neighbor said. Brenda Sparlin, a neighbor, said, "She usually leaves for work at 7:30 a.m. but her car was still there..... I tried to call twice before I went over there." "I knocked and she didn't answer. The front door was open and when I walked to the back the back door was open. I saw her in the front bedroom."
