State Fair Murders

Mr. Raymond, please contact me via email, as I would like to discuss something with you.

Sharon, I don’t have your e-mail address. You can reach me at coldcase@oklahoman.com or at kraymond@oklahoman.com.

Thanks!

I find it hard to believe that this is all that is written about these two girls…what about the stories of meeting a man at the truck stop with stuffed animals from the fair? Or about the boyfriends that were also supposedly with them at the fair (and met with this mystery man)? Are these rumors or did they actually happen too? I was in high school when this happened, and had gone to the fair with my friends (girls) alone…never knowing the full dangers of what we faced. Maybe alittle more information in the news might jar someone’s memory of the events that took place, even the smallest things can turn into something.

Hi. I am not sure why this case is not closed. We know who did it, one lives in New Mexico, we have proof, yet nothing has been done. It has been 20 years and Lane Henley and Doug Lawson are still living and breathing. I would like to see justice for Lisa and Cheryl. Also for Charlotte, Rocky, Ronnie and Alan and Carissa justice is a word they would some day like to use when they speak of the death of their family members.

Sherri, What proof do you have? Please share that information with the rest of us.

Did you attend the prelimary trial? That should give you all the answers you need to know.

http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=25173

The proof is there the only thing not there is a Murder weapon. Go to the website above Lane has killed again.
Doug Lawson was going to testify but wussed out at the last moment and did 3 years in prison for it. I heard his story prior to him recanting it in court, It was to believable.
Lane raped Lisa while Cheryl and Doug were at the store. Cheryl got upset and confronted Lane and that is when it all went sour.
I also heard that their brother Alan, went to the fair the next day looking for Doug or Lane because that is where they met the two. Alan found Doug working on the Mono-rail and Doug ran after seeing him like he really did know something. Why would he run? Alan had no verbal communication with him since they had been at the fair together,,,,,,weird.
Sharon, what are you asking Sherri to share anything for? Sounds like you are on the defensive side.
Also, It sounds as if you may KNOW something. You, please share with us.
All I know is it has been 20 years since this has happend and no on is paying for it but the family. Why wouldn’t someone say something if they knew who did it.
Bruce and Tracy may have been in on it too. We will never know until someone steps up and shares the information .

Sherri, as a matter of fact, I was there, were you there too? What ‘answers’ are you talking about? Please explain, so I will understand.
Thanks.

Ed, Doug was arrested on felony drug charges and agreed to testify against Lane for a reduced sentence. He served time in prison for purgery because he lied in court while under oath. Doug said in court, that he fell asleep in the living room, on the couch, which was under the front window. He said, he was awakened by the commotion in the front yard, which was supposedly Lane forcing the girls into his car. How could Doug actually ’see’ what was going on, if the yard was dark and he had removed his eyeglasses before dozing off? Doug was extremely near-sighted and wore very thick ‘coke bottle’ glasses. The window was too high to even ’see’ out of clearly, from a sitting up position. How do you know for sure that Lane raped Lisa? There was no DNA evidence available to prove this accusation, as the bodies were already decomposed when found. Doug was not a credible witness, not to mention his character… He was a drug dealer not a choir boy. In the case of Molly Keahey, she was not exactly a choir girl herself. Just because, she had been Lane’s girlfriend, does not mean that he killed her. What would have been the motive? Please explain your thoughts. Thanks.

Doug agreed to tell the truth for a lighter sentence. Nothing wrong with that. That is how the system works. He recanted his testimony only because he was scared of Lane and family. Doug’s story makes complete sense, it adds up. Lane was Lisa, he was 30 years old wanting to “hook up” with Lisa. Talk to the store clerk who saw Cheryl and Doug buying beer. Maybe check out the serveillance video from the store.

Let’s be clear here, neither Lane or Doug were model citizens. Both were drug dealers. But that doesn’t negate the fact that Lane killed Cheryl and Lisa. Give him a polygraph test.

Sharon, the way you are defending Lane you are either a family member of Lane or that stupid PI that was on the case.
There is more evidence that goes into the story and it is to much to put on this page and if you attended the Pre-trial you know what really happend.
Who cares about Dougs past back then. What he saw is what he saw and the way you go into detail about the way you could not see out the window just proves to me you knew Lane and you are defending him.
Why would Doug put his FRIEND in jail for MURDER just to get off of a Drug charge, that is silly. If it were not the truth he or anyone else would not have done it.
And to say anything about Molly Keahey not being a choir girl herself is again STUPID!! Who cares what kind of a person she or the other girls were the facts are the facts. The way you are defending Lane and trying to make everyone else seem like the bad person is incredible.
After Molly came up missing and before they found her body Lane reported his house was broken into and his guns were stolen, what a cover up.
All three bodies were found by a body of water and buried in a shallow grave how amazing is that…sounds like a Serial killer to me.
What about those facts SHARON.

Ed, where was Rocky Pennington the night the girls went to the fair?

A lot of people have tried to help this family over the years but the family has turned on all of them and said that nobody has ever helped them. Why?

what stupid PI? I know several people who gave their time for free to investigate the case too and once it came to the family knew the girls did drugs, they started trashing the people. Who cares if they did drugs? it’s been 20 yrs, everybody outta come clean and tell what they know so the girls can RIP.

Rocky was in Dallas with his sister, why on earth would you ask this?
I am part of the family and NO ONE has tried to help and if so in what way.

I happen to know a girl who got the Penningtons on the news, wrote articles for them, paid to have a booth at the state fair to seek information, and later w/another girl investigated the whole case. Got them on Mike McCarville radio show, worked w/the AMW investigators for weeks for free because they wanted to help.The penningtons sent her cards saying how much she had helped them, that she was like a daughter to them, etc. Plus, a lot of people donated money, fliers and time to help them. Why do they want to act like nobody helped them? Most people would be thrilled to have anyone help them w/anything. Why would I ask about Rocky? Because they both testified that they didn’t leave for Dallas until the 26th, the girls went to the fair the 23rd. As for Lane, I agree, either he is the unluckiest sob in the world w/3 dead girls around him, or he was one of the guys who did it.

I am the stupid PI on the case and I am the one who has helped the Penningtons since 1991.

There have been a number of individuals and groups who have helped to find the truth, helped the Pennington’s in one way or another. Do not think for one moment that they did not or still do not appreciate any kind of help. Every bit of effort has been greatly appreciated by the family.

Do they feel like justice has not been served? You bet, the killer of their two daughters has not been caught even though there is a lot of evidence pointing to a particular individual. How frustrating. Really, can any of us know their frustration or anger on any level, unless we have been there.

It is not up to any of us to judge how the family has acted. They are the ones who lost two daughters. Not us. I feel so bad for them and all I want for them is the truth. I want Lane and Doug to tell the truth about what happened that night.

No one saw the girls after Lane said they left. The reason is because he killed them. That is why.

Did anyone speak with the store clerk who sold beer to Cheryl and Doug when they left Lisa behind?

Let me tell you with a story like this they needed no help getting on the news or on the talk show and the boothe was paid for from the donated money. The lady you are talking about did it just to publish a book and nothing else.
Why are you saying that they act like no one helps them. I know they appreciate the help they and everyone else has provided but the police and upper powers is who will not help. I really think it is a cover up and the police just screwed up the whole case and they are afraid someone will find that out.

Yahoo for you Dorian. You get a Brownie point for that. Have you published your book yet?

Ed, I nearly lost my health helping these people. I just decided to write a book to put an end to it for me, since I worked on it most of my adult life. Maybe w/all the infor we learned, someone will read the book and come forward and put an end to it for everyone. Don’t worry, I expect and can take it to be bashed by anyone connected to the family. That is why I had finally had to let the case go and just write up what all has been learned to this point. I’m a big girl. I only to wanted to help and the family knows that.

And no I haven’t published my book yet, I will self-publish at my own expense if I can’t find a publisher when it’s ready, because I think all the info should be put out there. Please don’t presume to know my motives, you do not know me at all. I have put my lifeblood into this case because I wanted to help this family.

My brother paid for the booth at my request to help the penningtons get any info to help solve the case.

Ed, you said NO ONE has tried to help. Did you know also that the poster in the photo in the article was donated by Kinko’s and written and designed by me and donated thru my efforts for our booth at the fair? Again, these are the reasons I quit helping them, they and you continue to maintain no one has helped them and they have talked disparagingly of me to others saying I never did anything for them.

Sherri, a friend and I who worked on the case tried to find and talk to the store clerk, but if I recall correctly, we were not able to find him.

Anyone with any information they deem pertinent or wish to be considered for the book, please feel free to email me privately at Dorian7@cox.net Maybe together, everybody can get justice for these girls.

What do you want Dorian?
As I said the booth was paid for from donated money now where it came from who cares what do you want? Your brother was a good person for donating that money and they appraciated it and you know it.
What about the trip to Roswell NM that you were and your friend were suppose to take did you go or not? Well the check was cashed….
As I said you got your brownie point now stop wanting glory for the time and effort you put into this. What you did was for yourself and no one else.
You speak of your health because of the time on this case what about their parents has it improved? NO,,,,
Lets get back to what this Blog is really for who killed the girls it is not for you to get notariaty for your book.
Sharon please write more you seem to know something…

You know, Ed, it is emails like this that are the reason no one wants to help the family. The night before we were to go to Roswell, my best friend’s home burned to the ground. By the way, any check that was cashed was from money we raised. I would never have mentioned about my brother or my efforts until I learned the Penningtons were telling people nobody helped them, and yes, I have a right to defend myself, in civil court, if need be. By the way, who are you? They appreciated it? Why have they been telling people no one ever did anything for them?

I agree, let’s get back to getting justice. That’s what the book is about, so please refrain from further personal attacks. I don’t even know who you are. I will not engage w/you further.

I want what I’ve always wanted, justice for Cheryl and Lisa. Anyone else interested in that?

I am not here to help put information in a book. And I would like to think any book you would publish, the money would go to a local VICTIMS GROUP.

The family has never said that they haven’t recieved ANY help, because they have. What they have said the police and the powers that be seem to have drop the ball and don’t care. This is how the family feels. Right or wrong this is how they feel. They are tired and frustrated. Can you even image the tremendous pain and guilt?

You can not fault the family for being upset. This is there life now. If they feel like nothing is being done, then nothing is being done. Lane and Doug are free. Nothing has been done. Life continues on for all for all of us. Each of us has done what we could and wanted to do for THE GIRLS.

Polygraph test for Lane and Doug? Were they given? Did they pass?
You are adiment that Lane didn’t do it, prove to me there was no way he could have. Was he doing volunteer work at his church? Why didn’t the police pursue Lane and Doug. They were the last to have been with Cheryl and Lisa. No one saw them after they supposedly left Lane’s house, because Lane killed them. Why don’t the police/dective pressure Doug and Lane now? What is keeping them from working this case.

Whether you worked this case most of your adult life, it makes no difference. You choose that path. Rocky and Charlette had no choice, they will live the rest of their entire lives without their daughters and working to get the truth.

Yep, we each do what we choose. My choice has been to do all in my power to help this family. As a writer, it is my ability to write a book to hopefully bring an end to the case. That is my talent, that is what I can do. I believe that the more information that is put out there about what is known, the better the chance of solving the case. Who wouldn’t want that? Other people can do other things. This is what I choose. There was a book written about the Martha Moxley murder in Greenwich, Conn when the case was cold for many years. The result of the book was that a grand jury was convened, a man indicted and since convicted. If someone had not written that information and put it out there, chances are there would not have been enough pressure to reopen the case and get the conviction. It’s hard to believe anyone who wants justice for the girls would be against such an effort, but it really doesn’t matter. I have personally heard the Penningtons state that neither I nor anyone else has ever helped them. That they may have told others something differently, that is their deal. That is why I have defended my and everyone else’s efforts who have chosen out of their hearts to donate their expertise across many fields to help them over the years. Others have dropped their efforts because they too were bashed by the family. So be it.

I too, believe that Lane was one of the killers.

I believe the other killer has been protected because he was an informant for the police, and the police wanted it be Lane alone, yet even in that, they failed in getting him. Truth is, I have no idea who did it, I don’t know any of these people, but whoever did it is still free and needs to be held accountable.

If one article could help get the case out there, think how much help an entire book could be in getting the bottom of what really happened. That is my hope.

I agree Dorian.

I don’t want to debate the feelings or what has been said by Charlette and Rocky. I empathize with them. Their pain and sadness is beyond measure. I do believe their frustration and anger comes from the death of their daughters and the fact this case is unsolved.

The true story was told by Doug Lawson. If a dective could crack that theory I’d move on but unfortunately it all adds up and no one has disproven his accounts of that evening.

And I would like to address one more item then I’ll move on.

As for the family being upset about the fact that it was brought up that the girls were involved or did drugs, yeah, I can understant them being put off at first and not wanting to focus on that. At the end of the day, the story is not about who is or isn’t a model citizen, it’s about the unsolved murders of Cheryl and Lisa. And that story may involved drugs but it is not the entire story. It may be a small element.

I appreciate any and all efforts give by you and or anyone else. But to bash Charlette and Rocky is the story either. The story is the murder of two girls, who were at the wrong place at the wrong time. WHO DID IT?

I hope everyone has a good evening.

Sherri, you’re right, who cares if people did drugs? Who hasn’t made mistakes in their life? Did they deserve to be killed because they did drugs? Heck no. That’s right. The killers deserve to be convicted and in my opinion, executed. Nothing short of that is justice in my little opinion on this. That is just how I feel about it. I didn’t even know Cheryl and Lisa, but I felt I came to know them through this case and they have always deserved justice. Cheryl would be the same age as me, she was born 3 months before me. Every year I walk around the fair, even though I hate the fair, and I think about the girls and what happened. I almost go there begging them to give me some idea of what the heck happened, like if I could just go there enough, I could know. Crazy, but that is how the case has affected me. I think, maybe some psychic will see what happened, maybe someone will come forward, anything. I have tried to let the case go. I have wanted to. Yet I have not been able to because it is not over and all I can do now is write what all has been found out, put it out there, and pray to God someone can use the info to finish it. Every good person should be pissed off that two girls can be murdered right here in OKC and 20 yrs go by and the killers are still free and possibly have killed again. It is ridiculous. It shouldn’t happen. I still believe it can and will be solved and that the killers will be caught. I believe it. I choose to believe it.

I think everyone here wants the best for the Pennington family.

They are victims, too.

Obviously, people who follow this blog have strong feelings about what happened more than 20 years ago. It just goes to show that Cheryl and Lisa have not been forgotten. People — even those who never had a chance to meet them in life — care.

That’s a good thing. That’s a human thing.

But I hope that everyone here cares as much for the living as they do for the dead.

I hope you can get along and work for the greater good — justice for the Pennington family, justice for the girls. There’s no point in being angry with each other. Too many people are hurting already. Don’t cause each other more pain.

That won’t help anyone.

Ed, I did attend the court hearings, so I know what was said in the courtroom. If Doug was honest in his testimony, then why was he sent to prison for purgery? You can see his mug shot and read his rap sheet on the OK. DOC website. Also, check out the same information on Bruce Castle. I know that none of those people were model citizens, and I am not pretending they were by any means.

Ken, you are right and God bless you for your efforts to write such a great article to keep the focus on this case. Excellent work!

Sharon,

Doug told the truth. His story makes sense. He was sent to prison because as you said he committed purgery because he was afraid of Lane and maybe others. It happens. People tell the truth and get scared and no one is there to protect them. Who cares about Doug’s rap sheet, look at Lane’s. Strange how three women who he was the last to see ended up shot in the head. I don’t think that is what you can call bad luck. That is called being a bad man. I don’t associate with anyone with that kind of “bad luck”. He is a bad man.

Everyone should be looked at. Doug, Lane and yes, Bruce Castle. Everyone. I think we all can and would agree Lane and Doug know what happened to Lisa and Cheryl. And possibly Bruce.

As I emailed Ken several weeks ago, thanking him for his time and energy to the article. THANK YOU.

Sherri, if Doug was telling the truth; why did he not call the police as he was ‘witnessing’ the crime in progress, while sitting on the couch? I sure would have, if I was watching friends being forced into a car and pistol whipped in the face. He could have tried to stop the crime somehow but he did not. Lane does not have a rap sheet, but Doug and Bruce do. Doug was not afraid of Lane, but Lane was afraid of them… How can you judge Lane unless you know him personally? Please tell me.

You have no point at all. Why didn’t Doug call the police? Are you really asking me that or is that a way to convence yourself of Lane’s innocence. That is like asking why didn’t all those Christian’s stop the killing of Jesus? Surely a large group could have stopped it from happening. Of course not. Did Lane call the police when everyone, including himself, was smoking a joint? Or when Lane was dealing dope, he should have turned himself in since he is the stand up guy he surely would not want such a crime to me committed. Come don’t be naive. Crimes are witnessed every minute of the day and not reported. I can not explain the stupid. People are judge by what they do, their actions, the life they live. Did you know Jesus. No but he was and is judged. Like all of us.

Lane has a crimial history. That is public information, available to us all upon request.

So you think Lane was just an innocent bystander of a horrific crime and now yet another horrific crime in New Mexico? He is a bad man. Bad things happen when you are involved in bad things. He is involved in drugs and will continue to have a up and down, unpredictable life, things going wrong all the time, he will always have a “the world is against poor me” and those around him most likely will do the same.

And if Lane doesn’t want to be judge or seen as a bad horrible ugly human being than tell him to stop doing bad things. I don’t know too many people who have the same xxitty luck as he does. If you are living right people who you were last seen with don’t end up shot in the head. Obviously you are defending Lane, great, he needs support. But more importantly he needs to live a better life.

It is my understanding there were two different guns used in this crime. That is what leads me to the belief there were 2 shooters. This is the conclusion AMW came to as well, and we were working with their investigator who was a retired NYC homicide detective, very experienced. One man in Britton has repeatedly bragged/confessed to killing the girls. When we checked his 4 alibis for the night, all of them were false, which were told under oath at Henley’s prelim. I still believe for these reasons that this man and Henley are the likeliest killers. Go talk to people in Britton and you find that most people have heard this man confess or believe he is one of the killers. As for Lane, I have to say this – how can one person be so unlucky as to have 3 girls end up shot in the head who were associated w/him? Possible, but highly unlikely. Again, I don’t know any of these people, I don’t care if a green man landed from Mars and killed these girls, I just want whoever all was involved to be convicted and executed. Thoughts?

Sherri, please tell me of Lane’s criminal history. The “history” that excludes the cases of Lisa, Cheryl, and Molly. He is not listed on the OK. DOC website and was not put into the state’s criminal system. He was never incarcerated for any crimes. Do your homework. He only spent 19 months in OK. County during the trial.

You are in denial. Like I said, his volunteer work at church and the local youth group is a matter of public record. Do your homework. This man is a thug. Not a social activist.

FYI Sharon, the average American never spends19 months in county jail. That just doesn’t happen. He did because he was part of a crime. His best friends were the wrost of the worst. Get it now? I know there are a lot of innocent people who spend years in jail and some are executed. However your friend Lane is not one of those unjustly accused. Do your homework.

And back to Lane’s crimial history, you know him. He is a theif, robber and drug dealer. That man would steal from a church. He like most thugs, thinks the world owes him since he was dealt such a xhitty life.

Didn’t the police find women’s underwear in Lane’s home in New Mexico that he had be breaking into their homes? Yikes. Poor Lane. He always gets accused. It’s him against the world.

Sherri, good morning, have you ever known a Scott Brackett that one of the girls may have been seeing?

Sherri, I am not in denial. I know that his friends throughout his adult life; were not the ‘cream of the crop’ by anyone’s means. I would like to see the truth finally come out, as much as anyone else would. He was involved with drugs, so were all of those others that you are vouching for… They were not law abiding citizens either. I have not said, he was a social activist or dedicated church member, as you have sarcastically mentioned. He is by no means, a saint. You are misunderstanding me all the way around. He did not feel the world owes him a living, but he has worked since he was a teenager. He did not have a xhitty life, but came from a decent and loving family. He was well liked by his peers and teachers in school. He did not ever feel sorry for himself, for there was no reason for him to feel that way. Anyone of us, could spend time in jail, if we were also accused of murder.There are innocent people locked up every day and guilty ones running free, goes both ways. If he was found guilty of breaking into homes in New Mexico then he should be punished like anyone else. I believe in what is true, honest and fair in life. If he is guilty of killing the girls, he should receive the death penalty like anyone else. He deserves no special treatment in my book, he does deserve to be treated fair. You seem to have done a psychological evaluation on him, since you know his deepest thoughts. It also appears that you hold a personal grudge against him for some reason. What has he ever done to you? I doubt if you ever knew him personally, or did you?

Ed, if Lane did indeed rape Lisa; then why didn’t the girls call their parents to pick them up from the 7-11? Then have their parents take them to report this to the police and also have a hospital examination and rape kit done right away? This is what most girls would have done immediately following that incident, if it were true. Lisa and Cheryl walked to 7-11 and made a phone call to someone to pick them up. Who did they call, do you know? Lane and Doug were not the last people to see the girls alive.

I want to say I met Scott once. But I do not know, it was over 20 years ago. Yikes.

Did the police pull the phone records for that pay phone to see what number was dialed?

Did anyone see the girls walking or at the 7-11?

Dorian knows the details on this. Yes, there was a formal report on the fact, they were seen at 7-11 by the store clerk. Ask Dorian for the details. This is what Lane stated had happened, the girls were going to 7-11 after leaving his house.

It is a known fact, that MOST girls never report a rape.

If everything was cool between Lane and the girls that evening, why didn’t he offer or give them a ride home, since he drove them out there?

Sharon, again you are defending a friend or family member so there is no getthing through to you at all.
The girls had no chance to get to the 7-11 to call ANYONE as Doug stated.
You know I did some research,,,20% of the NATIONS rapes go unreported because the victom is scared,,think about it Lisa was 16. Ya, lets go call mommy and daddy and tell them I have been out all night partying and I got raped. Think about how scared this TEEN-AGE girl had to be.
She told Cheryl (her closest loved one at that moment) and Cheryl confronted Lane and that is when Lane freaked out and everything went bad.
You know I do not believe all of Dougs story either. I think he was in on the murders. As Dorian has written there were possibly two killers.
And Who cares what Lane stated in court. He IS a ruthless murderer and he will kill again unless someone out there helps us. Who knows it could be you or someone you are close too since you know Lane. You better watch out girl.

And if anyone has any information please do not send it to Dorian please reply to this blog as this is what it is here for.

ALL I WANT IS FOR THE KILLERS OF THESE TWO GIRLS TO BE BROUGHT TO THERE DEATHS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, NOTHING ELSE.
IF IT WAS LANE, DOUG, BRUCE, TRACY, TOM, DICK OR HARRY OR A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THEM. I DO NOT CARE!
I DO NOT WANT TO SPAR WITH ANYONE NO MORE.
UNLESS ANY OF US WERE THERE THAT NIGHT WE REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ESPECIALLY YOU SHARON.

Did Lane move to Alamogordo?

Does Doug have any relatives in OKC?

What about Bruce, still in OKC?

To Sherri, there are indeed many cases of ‘date rape’ that go unreported and that is a shame. The victim most likely feels, nobody will believe them or that the blame will fall on her, which is wrong and unfair. I do not know the reason why the girls walked to 7-11. Doug, Lane and the girls only know for sure.

Ed, why can’t you say who you are?

Don’t worry, “Ed” I have plenty of my info for the book, don’t need anything from you and since you are too afraid to say who you are, I wouldn’t believe anything you said anyway. It is clear you would rather argue than find justice, as everytime anyone writes anything publicly on this, be it an article, flier or book, it increases the chance it will be solved.

To Ed, there is a documented police report that the girls did go and make a phone call from 7-11, as the store clerk was a witness. Lisa had a known history of staying out all night away from home, this was a common practice. Ask her mother, as she testified to this fact in court. Whenever I was in any kind of trouble, the first person I called day or night, was -my father. That is the typical and normal thing to do for anyone; call home… Where did you even get the information that she was even raped, from Doug? It must have been, because Lane has never admitted to it and the girls cannot speak for themselves. Doug must have been a close friend of yours, huh?

Sherri, Bruce is still in Britton. I drive through Britton still, several times a week, thinking over the case, and I actually saw him on the street last week, looked him straight in the eye. He looked much skinnier than on the AMW piece in 2001 which indicates to me he has really been drugging it up. Also, Tracy Castle still lives at mommy’s house. I also saw him, he doesn’t know me from Adam – I waved to him and yelled, “Hi Tracy,” and dumb ass actually smiled like he knew me and said, “Hey!” I have tried to find any of Doug’s family here, I do think his mother, who is very old now, still lives somewhere in the area. Our private investigator talked to her back several years ago.

As for Lane, he still lives in Roswell, and although his number and address are unlisted, I do have them.

There is a report that the worker at the 7-11 saw the girls use the telephone after leaving Lane’s house – I do not know what the police did as to the phone records – probably did not pull them, in my opinion – but I have been unable at this time to actually locate and speak to that individual.

Dorian, you crack me up!

Dorian, if you have Lane’s phone number, why don’t you call him? Get his version of what happened that night, I would.

Sharon, I am and plan to speak to Doug directly too if I can find him now.

To Dorian, maybe Doug is one of the bloggers.

It would make sense the girls left Lane’s house because of an argument. Otherwise Lane or Doug would have given them a ride home. This area was far from the girls home so believe me, they wouldn’t have just left if they had been on good terms.

When Lane gave the story of them leaving to go call someone, and then the supposable witness who saw them using the phone? Why wasn’t the phone records pulled to see what number(s) had been dialed? What is the name of the witness that saw them using the phone? What time did that accure?

It could have been an arguement over Lisa and Lane, or even drugs. We do not actually know. But what makes sense is they left upset.

Whether you think Lane is a good man and whether I see him as a thug, he still was involved. One way or another, he knows what happened.

Why doesn’t Lane take a polygraph to prove he had nothing to do with the murders, that he was there at the time of the murders.

Also, why didn’t the police pressure Bruce? He lied and said he was in the hospital. According to records, that is another lie he has told.

Like the other idiots, Lane/Bruce/Tracy, do you really think that dope head would know how to use a computer? Even if he could, I think we could tell by his poor grammar.

Sharon, are you a relative of Lane? His father and step-mother have passed, not sure about his mother but she is too old to get on a pc. So maybe you are a Aunt or a close friend.

For Sherri, The girls may have left Lane’s house due to an argument. Maybe, they simply wanted to leave and he did not feel like driving them, who knows for sure? Maybe, they wanted to walk rather than have him drive them? How do you know the girls left his house upset? There are many possible answers to that one question alone. The police should have pulled store phone records immediately, for sure. That is only good police work. I agree, all of the people involved and in question; should have been given polygraph tests then and right now. (I have my opinions on those tests because many years ago, I was given one to apply for a cashier job. The polygraph examiner told me I flunked and that I had lied about one thing. I was telling the absolute truth and told the examiner to immediately call my family and friends to verify my honesty. He refused and I never got the job.) But, I still think they can be a good investigative tool with an experienced and honest examiner. I have not once said, “Lane is a good man.” I have only refused to allow others to brainwash me with their opinions; that he is a murderer. Plain and simple. You have a right to think of him as a thug, but I knew him as a true friend.

His mother would not be too old to be on a computer. My neighbor is in her 80’s and she uses one. LOL Sherri, I am not related to him, but I have known him since I was a 13 year old girl. I know all about him, his family, his school friends, his childhood. The last time we spoke was in December 1994. My brother was a friend of his sister over 41 years ago, so yes, there is s family friendship history that goes back many years.

Sherri, his biological mother is also deceased. She passed away from a cancerous inoperable brain tumor, when Lane was about 8 years old. Shortly thereafter, Russell married Jane, also widowed with children. They lived as a blended family together.

I do apologize if I offended you in anyway.

However, I am not here to prove Lane innocent or argue about his character or lack of.

I am hear in hopes of finding out who murdered Cheryl Genzer and Lisa Pennington.

Regardless of who each of these individuals were at the time and who they are now, they were involved in a horrific crime. No debating.

We all want the truth and Chery and Lisa deserve it.

And for everyone here writing and reading, thank you.

Sherri, I am not offended. I have always been the type, who sticks up for others, when they are unable to do so for themselves, for whatever reason. I have always been a loyal and true friend, through thick and thin. I would hope that someone would do the same for me. The girls deserve justice and to rest in peace. Their family deserves closure as well. To blatantly accuse another of murder is something serious and not to be taken lightly. That is why, we must know for certain, before pointing the finger at someone, especially if that someone, is a person we have never even met before. I know from experience that a rumor hurts worse than the truth. It leaves a scar on us forever, one that never completely fades.

Sherri, would you feel like emailing me privately? Dorian7@cox.net Also, the name of the guy who worked at the 7/11 who saw the girls allegedly after they left Lane’s is Randy Gann.

Sherri, there is info that a Scott Brackett confessed to killing the girls and then fled to Mexico. He is currently locked up as a sex offender and for indecent exposure. Anything you can remember about him, did the girls know anyone by that name, etc,. could be helpful. Thanks. I think you and Sharon seem to be the only ones on this blog regularly who are interested in justice, not starting fights, so thanks and let’s all keep our heads together on this.

I am concerned about who “Ed” is, as he appears to know a lot about the case and yet will not reveal who he is. I’m wondering if he is involved in these crimes in some way.

Sherri, this “Ed” kind of has poor grammar, so maybe it is Doug.

He also seems to be against everyone’s efforts to get justice in here and only wants to argue.

Dorian, stop going back and forth about who may have done it.
You bringing up Scott Brackett or anyone else is silly.
I do know Lisa as well as myself did know Scott B from playing in a band with some of our friends but who cares.
Thinking I may have been involved in the crime because I know so much about the case is also stupid.
To say I am wanting to argue instead of getting justice is unreal. I know the case and for you or anyone else to say it was anyone but Lane or Doug, that is the reason I want to argue.
Lane and Doug killed them and I know it.
I was there when Lane approached Lisa and her friend. I was there when everything happened prior to them leaving the fair.
I was the one that went to Lanes house after they were missing and he did not answer the door even though his cars were there I left a for a few minutes and then came back and his car or van were gone. Why did he not answer his door?
I was the one that went to the fair to find Lane or Doug and when I found Doug he ran. Just left, even though he was till on the clock?
I am the one that seen the FEAR in Dougs eyes and no one else did not even you Dorian or Sharon.
I know Lane tried to run to Mexico after he killed them but got caught with some pot and some weapons and that after his dad got him out of jail he did not want to come back to the states.
I know everything that happened. I may not remember everything real clearly but I do remember.
Sharon, for you to say that Lisa was known for staying out all of the time is stupid. You may be thinking about Cheryl(25) but I know that their parents would not allow Lisa to stay out all night ever.
And even if she did would that be okay to rape and murder her?
And the deal with a 7-11 worker seeing them,,,I know nothing about it so lets get a time that he seen since you know everything else.
Again, you need to watch your back since you know Lane so well.
He might get you too.

Dorian,,, do you now know who I am? I am not Doug or anyone that commited this crime I am Alan Pennington the girls brother.
I will defend anything that is posted to this site that disgraces my family of course.
There is something out there that will prove they did it. We will just have to wait to see what it is.

LANE HENNELY AND DOUG LAWSON KILLED LISA PENNINGTON AND CHERYL GENZER AND WE NEED HELP PROVING IT.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WITH THIS CASE!!

Ed, what did happen between them before leaving the fair, do you want to tell us? Why did the girls decide to even leave with Doug and Lane in the first place? Were they on friendly terms or trying to ’settle something’ between them, do you know? Did you feel the girls were in possible danger or feel it was OK to leave with these men? Share your thoughts please, so we will know. ( IMHO, Lisa was too young to be associating with people that much older than herself, trying to ‘grow up’ too fast. She should have been at home sleeping, doing homework, and getting ready for school the next day. Maybe, I am old fashioned, but teenagers should have to follow house rules.)

Sharon, I started writting a angry response directed at what you typed. Then I realize my anger is what you want. And you will not get it. Do you hear me?

You will not get my attention. Only Cheryl and Lisa and those that killed them.

This blog is not helping solve the murders of the girls. It is a place for Lane’s lonely friends to come and play. Good luck.

Well, it’s good to hear you say who you are. I too will defend anything that disgraces me or anyone else who has worked on this case. Alan, why are you mad at me for reporting about Brackett? Or that the Castles have confessed? I don’t care who did it, I just want them to be caught, but if I have heard someone confessed, I have an obligation to check it out. If someone said you committed a murder and confessed, wouldn’t you at least want to be asked about it to clear your name? I am glad you are talking about the case – for the first 3 years I helped your parents, nobody in the family would even admit the girls were doing any drugs – did I care if they were doing drugs? I could care less, they didn’t deserve to be killed. I have been one of the strongest defenders of your sisters, why do you want to come after me?

I have never wavered from the belief that Lane is one of the killers. I do not think he did it alone. If you don’t care who did it, “Tom, Dick or Harry,” then please support anyone’s efforts to at least track down people who say they killed the girls. Wouldn’t the best thing be to catch whoever did it, even if it wasn’t Lane? I don’t know Lane at all. I think he participated, I think he was one of the shooters. I do not believe one person is so unlucky that everywhere they go there are dead young women shot through the head. So, with everybody working together, maybe all/any of the people who had ANYTHING to do w/the murders of these girls will be caught, convicted and executed.

Sherri, I do not want anyone’s anger, what is the purpose? I do not want anyone’s attention either, especially yours or someone like you.
Perhaps, this blog will not help to solve the crime, only meaningless words are written, huh? Now, today you are bashing me, why must you continually bash other people? Does it make you feel good inside to belittle others on a daily basis? I am not one of Lane’s lonely friends and I am not playing either. Have you now completed a psychological evaluation on me? Good luck to you too, as you will need it worse than I.

Alan, do you think Bruce was involved? Remember when you picked him up (was he at his parents’ house?) and he took you by Lane’s and ducked down in the seat, and then you dropped him off and go back and Lane is gone? I think he either helped Lane, was w/the girls later that night or possibly at the fair, and may be the one who threatened Lawson and scared him out of telling the truth. Can you remember how you knew to go get Bruce to show you Lane’s house? Did you approach him after your sisters disappeared or did you think since he lived over there, that he would know where Henley lived? I am asking in order to help find out what happened, Alan, not to make you mad. Nothing would make me happier than for Lane or Bruce or Tom/Dick/Harry to be arrested today and held accountable.

Knowing S. Brackett, why do you think he would brag about killing your sisters?

It would be GREAT if this blog helped solve the crimes. If standing on my head at dawn chanting poems would solve it, I would be upside down tomorrow morning. This is a great tool, this blog. Everybody has different pieces of this story. If everyone can add their parts, maybe it can come together and be solved. I don’t want to waste this opportunity to do that. If it’s Lane and Doug, let’s get them. If it’s someone else, let’s get them. The most important thing is not who did it, but that whoever did it is held accountable. It makes me sick to think that they have been out there for 20 years living freely and thinking nobody will ever catch them. It’s not right. The anger from that is part of what has kept me going on this case for all these years.

Was Brackett involved w/either of the girls?

Alan, do you know who Cheryl’s supplier was? Also who was it who lived up north around 236th who was involved in drug dealing w/the girls. These things would be helpful.

Another question, Alan. You told us once that on the night the girls went to the fair, one of your friends told you some guy Cheryl had been dating had shown up at his door, shaking and crying and stating that the girls owed someone a bunch of money and something had gone wrong. And that possibly this person had something to do w/it because he did not appear at the funeral. Can you figure out who this man was, as it would help SO much in figuring out the events of that night. Is there any way to identify who this was?

Dorian, I will have to write later as I am at work.

Sharon, who cares what you think about Lisa. You know nothing about her as I know nothing about Lane as you have written several times.
I was to come back to the fair to get them that night and maybe I was late I do not remember. You do not know the story at all.
I know that Lane was the last one to see them alive and usually that will be the killer. To many things point him out as the killer.
Why did he burn his house down, why did the car that Doug said he seen him take the girls away in all of a sudden disappear?
Why did his guns in NM get ripped off, Why was he going to Mexico? Why did his used to be girl friend end up dead?
Get real lady! To many things point to him as the killer and you and everyone else that knows the case knows he did it!!@
LATER!!!

No problem, Alan. I look forward to hearing from you. I need to go do some work myself!

Isn’t it weird that after Lane moved, Bruce Castle is the one who lived in his house when it burned down? That is just very wierd to me and indicates they obviously were associated w/one another.

Weird, not wierd!

Hey Alan, was wondering if you might get a chance to write, looking forward to seeing if you know about Cheryl’s supplier, the guy on 236th, and also if either of the girls were seeing Brackett. I am going to write to Brackett in jail and ask him why he confessed to these murders. He probably doesn’t even know that someone told the police about him. But if he didn’t do it, he needs to explain why he bragged and waved a gun around saying that was the gun he killed them with.

I know of no dealer for my sister on 200+ street.
Again, when Cheryl started hanging with Bruce and the Britton crowd that is when the real drugs started. Prior to that it was Mail order speed tablets or just pot around the city.

Neither of the girls ever were seeing Brackett to my knowledge.

Dorian, you did a good job of breaking my folks down in the paper the other day. I hope you feel good about it.
You and everyone else have no idea how much they appreciate the help they have received from you all and for you to write that in the paper was uncalled for.
Maybe just maybe that is the way they really feel, “that no one is helping.” When you go 20+ years without having a conviction for the murders of your only two daughters I think anyone and I mean anyone would feel that way and for you to come out and publicly humiliate them was uncalled for. As I said in a earlier blog they are upset with the police not the volunteers in this case and I think they have thanked you all enough.
I have been around them countless times whether it be with the police, newspaper or just friends when they had told them of the help people have given on a voluntary basis or what a Godsend you (Dorian) have been. Do you ever remember them thanking you or sending you “Thank You” cards or a $300.00 check they gave to you for your help on the case?
You know how Journalist are, they only print the bad and never ever focus on the good. Maybe that is why you have never got the Public notariety you oh so want and deserve.
My family really appreciates your help and you know it.

I will speak no more of you or anyone else that does not pertain to this case. Again, that is not what this is for.
If you have any ?’s you can ask and I will try to answer.

Thanks,

I am young and can remember hearing about this case on TV. I have taken the time to look over the court dockets and it looks as though they were getting ready to sentence Lane when the state requested that it be dropped? Is this right? if so that sounds like maybe Lane had inside ties with the State of Oklahoma or knew someone that did.

Staci,
Yes they almost had a good prosecution but the key witness recanted his testimony and they had to release the one that did it.
We, the family, also think that one of the people involved with the murders was an informant of some kind and that is why we have not had a conviction..
Can you help in any way? Let me know.
I am writing as the name “ED” but my real name is Alan Pennington and the two girls were my sisters. My home address is acmustang02@yahoo.com please write on this blog or directly to my address.
Thanks,
AP

I was born in ‘82 and therefore do not remember much of this case on tv, but I do recall hearing about it every-other year or so for awhile before the fair started. I have read all of this and think it a bit disturbing that there are 100 or so comments on here, and half of them are bickering between some of the bloggers. I am glad that has stoppped and hope ppl who know things or have questions continue to use this for that purpose. I belive most of you are on here to help or just to talk about the case. My heart goes out to you, Alan, and the Pennington family and friends of Cheryl and Lisa. I am studying to be a homicide detective and hope the men responsible are caught and rightfully punished.

Alan, hate to hear you take it that way, you have to understand I spoke directly to a lady who also told me your parents told her I had never done anything for them. I have also been told recently that your mother has nothing good to say about me. They also turned my friend and I in falsely claiming we misrepresented ourselves as licensed investigators, which we won the case, because we never did that. So, you have to understand I am responding to personal and deeply hurtful attacks on me and my professionalism and I certainly have the right to do so. Your parents hurt me so deeply that I almost never wanted to help anyone in any way for the rest of my life, it was horrible. There is a lot you do not know in that regard, I can tell. I don’t need any credit, Alan, ask your parents how for years they asked me to go on TV w/them and I always resisted, hate it. The only reason I have said about my efforts is because if I don’t defend myself, people who don’t know about any of this would listen to your parents and think, gee, that girl never did a thing for them. And others too, I am not the only one. Actually, your folks have had more help than most cold cases ever get. They know the truth about my efforts and they also know my heart about the case. Do you know anyone else who drives thru Britton several times/wk thinking about the case, trying still to figure it out? Do you know anyone else who goes to the fair every year and walks around because they are haunted by the case and think maybe it they could go there enough, they could figure it out? As for your other comments, I will let them go, as I don’t want to argue w/you. I want the killers of your sisters to be convicted and executed. There is one question I want to go back to which would be helpful to the case – do you know who it could have been who went by your friend’s house the night the girls went to the fair and he used to date Cheryl and he was very upset and crying and said the girls owed someone a bunch of money and that something had gone wrong. This guy was not at the funeral and if we could figure out who it was, I think he holds the info to the whole case that night.

Alan, every one of your parents’ thank you cards meant more than you or they ever could know. That is why it was so devastating for them to turn against me, to trash me to others. I actually had come to care for them a great deal, and they know that, I guarantee you they know that. As for what I wrote in the paper, I don’t see why you perceive it as a personal attack that the many people who helped would get a nod of appreciation. Peace.

Alan, by the way, can we call a truce and just focus on the case? Thanks for answering the earlier questions, do you know which guy I am talking about who is unidentified that nite and thought the girls were in trouble of some kind? There has got to be a way to figure who this is, he was supposedly going out w/Cheryl. Your friend whose house he went to that night thought he had something to do w/the murders because he said he did not go to the funeral and he was acting so weird. Was Sam Tyner already in county by that night? Any help on those questions would move the case along, I hope. Thanks.

One more question, Alan, what size guy was Brackett? Was he tall, or a smaller build guy? Again, there is a report of him for some reason waving a large gun around and stating that was the weapon he killed the girls with. Was he the kind of guy to act like this, or did you know him well enough to know?

Alan, is it possible that Sam Tyner was the visitor to your friend’s home that night? It would make sense that he wasn’t at the funeral because he was in jail.

In one of Tyner’s letters, he tells Cheryl to “please don’t ever get into jail again.” Can you tell me when and for what she was in jail? Thanks.

Alan, after re-reading Sam’s letters while he was in jail, I believe he knows what happened. He strongly suspects Bruce, as he was apparently jealous of Sam and Cheryl’s relationship. He also suspects Chuck Tootle, but didn’t think he had it in him to shoot someone. Also, Kenneth Ellis. Did you know Chuck or Kenneth? Thanks.

Where is Britton? Where did Lane live?

Britton is a small suburb of Oklahoma City – Lane lived on N.W. 100th in Britton back in 1987. There are some railroad tracks that run close to his house by a street called Garnett. Did you know Lane?

WHAT GOING ON IN THE NEWS TODAY .MAYBE WE NEED A LITTLE MORE CHURCH IN OUR LIVES.

First of all Thanks Laura! Those are some very kind words.

Secondly, Dorian. You speak of someone going to a friends house that night the murders happend. What friend and where did they live? I do not recall hearing anything about this.
You also asked about the time Sam was in jail. I believe he was in jail when this all happened I am not 100% for sure though.
He is now out of jail. I heard from him about 2-3 months ago.
In 1986 Scott B. was kind of tall and had a slender build.
Anything else just ask and I will try to help.
I will speak to my folks and try to get a answer on Sam.

Thanks a bunch, Alan, I appreciate it. Hey, does Sam live here? Do you think he would talk to me, I would like to talk to him, and have wanted to for years. Also, would you mind going to Oklahoma DOC, look under Offender Search, and type in Scott Brackett. You will see several photos of him and he is a pretty big guy. Can you tell if this is the same Brackett you knew? I have written a letter to this Scott Brackett asking why he would confess to these murders and does he know anything, but heck, I sure want to send it to the right one! How is Sam? I guess his little girl is now in her 20s, I remember reading that while he was in jail, Fonda was pregnant and then had a little girl. Is he still w/Fonda? Thanks again.

Alan, the guy I am referring to is I think named Ralph, can’t remember last name, possibly Lund. We talked to him after you told us he told you many years later about some unidentified guy coming by his house the night ya’ll went to the fair, but he could not think of his name. This guy was freaked out tremendously, Ralph said it was someone who had dated Cheryl, and that he said the girls owed some people a bunch of money, that something had gone wrong, and that they were in trouble. He then started shaking and crying and appeared very upset. Ralph said he thought this guy had something to do w/the murders and that later, he did not come to the funeral and he thought it weird that if he cared so much, why wasn’t he at the funeral? We tried exhaustively to look at the funeral book, to see who should’ve been there who wasn’t, to find names of guys Cheryl might have been dating, etc, but could not identify this guy. I still think he has very significant information about the events of that night and I would LOVE to find out who he is and track him down. Thanks.

Alan, I have Sam as going in on Sept. 28, 1987, but I have a copy of a letter he wrote to Cheryl postmarked on the 24th and it sounds like he is already in jail. I hope he has gotten out of trouble and is doing well, he sounds like he deeply cared for your sisters and family.

Alan, it means a lot to me and I thank you for your efforts to answer any questions. I know that you and your family have had a horrible 20 years and I have always wanted only the best for you all and for the killers to be caught and executed. I have felt like I have come to know your sisters, even though I never met them. Cheryl and I are three months apart in age. They did not deserve to be killed.

Dorian, that is not the Scott Brackett I knew unless he has changed A BUNCH.
He would have been born in the same year as I “67″.
We went to school together for years.

I remember that now, the thing with Ralph, kind of sent chills down me.
I have started trying to get ahold of Ralph again to ask him about it.
AP

Thanks, Alan, dang, I have this letter ready to mail and I’d sure hate to be giving my address to some convict and it’s not even the right dude! Hey, I TALKED TO BRUCE CASTLE TODAY. First time I have ever talked to him. I was driving thru Britton and there he was, loser, skinny and stoned w/some chick w/him. I pull over and go, hey, you Bruce Castle? Yeah. I’m writing a book on the murders of Cheryl and Lisa – he goes, ” got nothing to say, I’m out of it.” (Truest statement he ever said.) I said, did you you go to the fair that year? No. Why have you been confessing all over Britton? “I got nothing to say.” And he started walking away. The girl he was with started to say something and he tells her, “shut up!” I go, do you know Chuck Tootle? “Yeah, he’s in jail.” (He is, idiot.) Well, Bruce, he is just one of many people who have heard you confess. (Keeps walking away.) I pull up to him again. Hey Bruce, who do you think did it? “Lane Henley, his girlfriend is dead out there too.” Yeah I know, you sure you don’t want to say anything to defend yourself, cause I’m gonna write this book and talk about how all these people say you confessed. Walks away, I drive off. He looks like he is 65 yrs old, looked stoned, skinny, worn out. I plan to go to his mother’s house and say the same things. Idiots. Anyway, I used to be afraid of him. Not anymore. I am happy to have bothered him and to let him know that NO, this is NOT going away, and YES, I know you perjured yourself w/your lame alibi about being in the hospital, so it will never end! Hope it works on it.

Hope it works on Bruce, idiot.

Alan, I am going to put up a flyer tomorrow in Britton cafe w/the girls’ pictures and also in one of the bars. Can’t hurt.

I just took some fliers to a bar in Britton, will take some to cafe in the morning. Who knows, you never know who will call.

Alan, other than repeated confessions by Bruce Castle over the years, I believe the single most significant clue to this case we learned over the years is Ralph’s mystery visitor. If we could just identify him, we could maybe solve the whole freakin’ deal. Let me know how it goes w/Ralph. Thanks.

Ralph stated that he was pretty sure the visitor had tatoos, was about 5′8 or 5′9 w/dark hair. The guy said HE and Cheryl owed some people a lot of money. Said he seemed like a “crankster” and that he knew Ralph didn’t like him. That he and Cheryl had been over to Ralph’s before, had been seeing each other about a month.Said he was arrogant and nervous, and when the subject of money came up is when he started crying. Ralph said it was about 10 that night, because he was off from work that night and that nights he worked he got off at about 2, but it was earlier than that.

Alan, do you know if Scott’s name was Patrick Scott Brackett? There is a guy by this name, photo included, on the Oklahoma DOC website w/birthdate in 1968. Would you mind taking a look at that one? Thanks.

I am almost 100% sure that is the Scott I knew.
Exactly, what day was it that this guy went to Ralphs?
Weird about Bruce saying Lane did it. I do not ever remember hearing him say Lane did.

Sounds like you are pretty sure that is the right Brackett, SO, I am going to send my letter to him. It is my understanding from my notes that the guy went to Ralph’s on the night the girls went to the fair. He places it that night because he also remembers your mom coming by his place the following day and stating she had a bad feeling and that if the girls had just gone off, they wouldn’t have left everything and that something was wrong. So, I don’t know that it was Sept. 23, but if your mom can remember going by Ralph’s (36/Meridian – apartments) and if she can place the time ( I know it’s been 20 years!), it could help nail it down. I have re-read your mom’s journal from the time and there is no reference to it at all. Thinking about it, I am not sure your mom would have already gone looking for them first thing that next morning, so maybe it was a couple days out. Thanks.

I see Brackett is not in jail at this time, so I will have to try to find him to send him this letter.

Alan, do you know where Mike Genzer was the night the girls went to the fair? I don’t know him at all, I am just wondering if he might know anything, what is your take on him? Thanks.

Another question, Alan – do you have any idea who was chasing Cheryl and Bruce w/a gun a couple days before the fair, when they came to your apt?

I cannot remember where Genzer was that night and neither can my folks.
I do not see him being that bad of a person. I know he was suppose to be a “biker” and he did abuse Cheryl a few times but he is not the type of person that would kill another Human.
He is working in Yukon at the Graveyard off of Garth Brooks Blvd.
I remember Cheryl and Bruce coming over to my place off of 14th and Villa I just do not remember when it was or how close it was to the murders. I do remember them saying they were at the “Red Dog” and someone jumped Bruce in the back Parking lot.
Thanks,

Thanks, Alan, I know it has been a long time to remember details. Let me ask you this – do you remember if Cheryl and Mike were in touch that last month or week? Thanks. I ask these things not because I necessarily think he had something to do w/it, but Cheryl did make reference according to Doug that night about an ex-husband, so I have always wanted to at least be able to verify conclusively where Mike was during that time period, and did he and Cheryl stay in touch and so forth. Thanks.

As for the night Bruce and Cheryl were chased down by someone w/a gun, it was a couple nights before all this. This is from prelim testimony when your mind was fresher about the details and closer in time to the events. I have always wondered who this might have been, since it was so close in time to the murders and here is someone chasing her w/a gun.

Dorian,

I have been doing some looking for patrick s bracketts address for you and the last known address that I can find for him is 3921 NW 52nd OKC, OK 73112 but that was from april 26, 1996. I hope this is helpful. I just can not stand the fact that this case has went on for so long unsolved. I am a stay at home mom of two girls and I do not know the family of Cheryl and Lisa. I know that if this was to have happened to someone in my family I would want all the help I could get inb solving it.

That address was good for scott as of january 2005 when there was a bench warrent issued for his arrest.

Thanks Dorian for all your work. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I think Sam would know some names, he hung around some really scarey people. Seriously scarey.

What is Lane’s full name?

Sherri, it is great to hear from you again. Listen, I would love to talk to Sam, do you know how I can reach him? He has been on my list for years to talk to, I just never have gotten around to it. Do you think he would be willing to talk to me? Thanks, Staci. I will check it out, as I need to find the right Scott Brackett, just because I want to ask him where he was and why did he reportedly confess to some folks? Don’t think he had anything to do w/it, but if someone wants to confess, I am at least gonna check it out. Sherri, as I just wrote Alan, I have always cared about the family. This case somehow became part of my life along the way and I want to see it thru if there is anyway to do so. Heck, I just made my be-weekly drive thru Britton this morning, just thinking on the case as usual. Does Sam live here or is he out of state? I had an address in Kansas or Illinois at one time. If he would talk to me, I do believe he has info that could help. Hopefully, he is having a good life now and doing well, as I wish for everyone in this case, except of course, the killers.

Staci, the case against Lane was dropped because Doug Lawson recanted his testimony about seeing Lane attack the girls and drive off in Lawson’s car. I am going to find Lawson and talk to him directly, as I feel if I am going to write this book I should have talked directly to the 5 guys I think have something to do w/it. I already talked to Bruce Castle – he was wasted and had nothing to say. What he doesn’t know is I know just about everything he has ever said about this case, including the fact that he perjured himself at Lane’s prelim w/stating he was in the hospital at the time of the murders. So, it ain’t over yet, and I have tried to get out of this case because it has worn on me over the years, but I keep coming back, wish I could quit, but it has a hold of me, so I feel like I should complete my book and put all the info out there and maybe someone will read it and be able to take it from there. That is all I can do and I feel like I should do it and maybe someone else who has more energy on it can take it up from there. Anyway, let’s all work together and get justice for Cheryl and Lisa. I know Cheryl drank Budweiser and for many years I have had a bottle of Bud unopened on my desk which I plan to shake up and break open the day the killer is arrested. I think of the girls each time I see the bottle, which is every day.

It is Lane Russell Henley.

Do any of you know to what extent the girls were involved in Satanic stuff? Was it experimental or something more? Was Scott Brackett involved in this as well? Thanks.

this is a scary blog because i live in yukon and i have seen a man named mike working at the cemetary.

Hey Julia, it’s really not that scary, Mike is just the guy who was married to Cheryl. The scary part to me is that there are two dead girls, 20 years later, and the police do not seem interested.

YEAH THATS WHAT I MEANT THE “COLD CASE” SHOULDNT BE CLOSED.

man that is really freaky props to all of you guys who new them

I know you all want to find out who really did it and i can tell you there is one person who knows exactly who did it.And that is GOD.That may not mean much to some of you,but it does in the end my friends.For there is a beginning and an end.So just keep praying and trusting in GOD,and it will all be taken care of.For we are not here to be the judge the jury or the executioner.That is GODs job.God Bless

thanks, Tami.

anything

As for God knowing who did it, yep, He sure does and that will result in ultimate justice for the killers, but, Stephen, while we are certainly trusting and praying God will help everyone in this case, we do have a system that does have a judge and jury and it is my prayer that one day soon the killers will face an actual judge and jury, and if convicted, hopefully an executioner. After that, they can explain everything they did to God and then deal with Him. Thanks for your thoughts.

I got a call recently from someone in Britton who told me it was ridiculous that I should be working on this case as a writer, to write a book about it. Told me that the TV shows couldn’t solve it, why did I think anyone else could? For that person, who by the way, didn’t have the guts to actually tell me who they were and who called from Nigs bar on Classen to hide like a chicken s…, and for anyone else who thinks it is ridiculous, remember this – today was Thanksgiving and there still is a family w/two seats at the table that will forever be empty. And the people who took their family members from them probably sat themselves down today and honked down a buttload of turkey and dressing thinking all these years they have gotten away w/murder and nothing will ever happen to them. For that caller and anyone else, it is ricidulous that you and many others in Britton know exactly what happened and who killed Cheryl and Lisa and 20 years have passed and you have been content to live your own little selfish lives protecting the idiots who did this. That is pretty ridiculous to me, and it gives me a lot of happiness knowing that everytime I put out fliers in Britton, people like you get all stirred up and sound worried the case might actually be solved. Really, if you weren’t worried about it and think it will never be solved like you told me on the phone, why did you waste all that energy to call and give me a fake name and call from a bar to conceal yourself? Who are you protecting? So, hopefully, we will all be able to keep your stress levels pretty high over there in Britton until someone understands that the only things that is ridiculous is for all of you over there to keep acting like you don’t know anything and to understand it’s not over til the fat lady sings and she ain’t even awake yet. Happy freakin’ Holidays! More fliers are coming!

Britton people, get your cute little fake names ready, THE FLIERS ARE COMING!

Name of my book – The Secrets of BRITTON – Lies, Confessions and Coverup in the Unsolved Oklahoma State Fair Murders.
Bite me.

I went to grade school and middle school with one charlotte Kinsey, I believe that’s how you spell it….she and her friend were taken from the state fair before 87….tho I thought her friends name was LIsa…..Anyhow, there was a wierdo that tried to pick me up and have me help him at the fair in I believe 86….or maybe 85….I remember this man’s face well to this day….if this is the same person, I would like to see a picture of him….I have some info to share if this is related….And I mean some real stuff that he thought he was pulling on a young uneducated but protected by the Pray to OUR GOD that day!!!! some one holler at me about this

Hey Manny, you refer to the earlier state fair case which I believe occurred in the early 80s. Lisa and Cheryl were killed in 87. In the Kinsey/Pallet case, a man named Russell Long was suspected of killing the girls, altho bodies never found. He later died in prison on unrelated charges in another state. He had coerced the girls to help him unload stuffed animals at the fair, as one of the girls had called home to tell her mother this. It was never proven, but I believe authorities were pretty sure that case was committed by Long. Unrelated to the Pennington/Genzer murders of 87. What happened to you?

My heart goes out to the girls’ family. I do agree that the police drop the ball alot. My family had waited 28 years for someone to solve my aunt’s murder and one very persist OSBI agent solved her murder. I do want the family to have closure like we finally got. There is always a person out there that has info and I do plea that they come forward and help the police solve this for the family. The family is in my prayers and I hope they are in the prayers of every Oklahoman. May god help you find it in your hearts to help the family and friends of the girls. GOD BLESS.

What I find disturbing is that nearly each of these guys that are mentioned here have been in prison or have done time. That shows that, likely, Cheryl Genzer had gone way off the deep end by hanging around, and even associating with a very low-class group of people. She was asking for trouble. Sadly, a 16 year-old was following her lead, and also wound up dead. Whatever the circumstances, if these girls were alive today they might also have had criminal histories like the guys. This should serve as a lesson for kids…if you bring these circumstances into your life, you could easily wind up like these girls…either dead, or with a life that has been wasted.
There are plenty of guys out there, just like all of these losers who have been mentioned, who are waiting to swallow up the innocence of anyone who wants to associate with them.

WOW i have read all of this and find it very heartbreaking. In 1983 or so I was questioned by the police on the earlier fair MURDERS because someone thought I was one of the girls and they notified the police by my car tag because I drove by them everyday on my way to work that was haunting, but a few years later while I was at work we were discussing the fair murders and a lady I worked with told me point blank that her husband was involved in the early murders, actually for getting rid of the bodies I was floored I contacted the police and it was never followed up on, never heard another thing I quit that job shortly after that; the last name of that person “Webster”.

Ervin I am sorry but you have no right to assume anybodies path they would have taken if they had been given the chance. There are alot of wonderful people in this world that were on a rocky path at one time. There is alot of people who are good that suddenly take the wrong path and nobody ever saw it coming. I think you are very cruel.

Susan, please re-read my post…look for the words “might” and “could”. You assumed I wrote one thing without reading carefully.

But why would you write that in your post?
I am sure that Cheryl did not do a Background check on them prior to going out with them.
I also know for a fact that most of the people mentioned on this blog site got their records after Sept of 1987 genius!!!
I am sure you have a friend or two that has been in jail since 1987 and does that make you a bad person?

I have read the comments published with interest. As J-Major and later part-time investigator But could it be possible that the mysterious third person could have commited the murders. Dorian has anyone done research on child disappearances in the region before and after this time. Gresham’s book showed the ineptitude of Oklahoma law enforcement and OSBi. That book told the story of two cases. one in which two innocent persons were put to death on manufactured evidence and two others spent needless time incarcerated. This all because a DA was convinced they were guilty.
Hope this gives you some new insight.

Thanks, Steve. We have always considered it could be anyone, BUT, each investigator who has worked on the case has concluded it goes back to the the same guys. They were last seen w/the girls, several of them have repeatedly confessed, and there has never been a shred of info that anyone else did it. As for the Ok law enforcement, in this case, they do not seem interested in pursuing anyone. They refused to work w/America’s Most Wanted when they did a feature on this case in 2001. They believe it was Lane Henley who killed the girls, but even giving them their theory, Henley is free and suspected of murdering his girlfriend in New Mexico, so if that is their man, they have failed terribly.

Sharon, why don’t you forward this to your buddy Lane? Let him tell his side of the story.

Ed, that is a good idea. I do not know if he has a computer or an email address. I have not spoken to him since 1994.

Just found this blog. Lane was Class of ‘75 at John Marshall, and I knew of him. He was always hanging around outside the south entrance to the school – the one that opened onto the student parking lot. The reason why he hung out there was because that is where all the smokers gathered to smoke cigarettes, and Lane smoked. It was sort of assumed that he was into drugs – you didn’t have to know him to figure that out. I just remember Lane standing there with others, always wearing the same green army surplus jacket, straight shoulder length matted-down greasy hair, with a slight smile on his face. He hung around the doper crowd, so he wasn’t somebody I would have spoken much to. I think I spoke 10 words to him during all of high school.

If there is anyone from John Marshall or Britton or anywhere, who has significant information about Lane Henley or Bruce Castle or anyone else suspected of involvement in these murders, please put your information out there so maybe the case can be solved sooner than later. It’s already been 20 yrs.

I just spoke to somebody from John Marshall who tells me that that entrance at the south end of JM where Lane hung out was called “the freak porch” (it had a covered area so that you would not get rained on). You can guess why it was called that. I’m told that they were doing a lot more than just smoking cigarettes there (I wouldn’t have known).

Alan, you were so innocent back then, huh? I was wondering if you are still a virgin? You were a little twirpy nerd then and I bet you still are… That is why you feel the need to put others down. Get a life!

RE: entry 170; I am talking to Alan Molson, not Alan Pennington.

I was wondering why the OKC police did not help America’s Most Wanted when they profiled the case. I think I read that somewhere. Does anybody have any theories as to why the OKC police did not help AMW?

Great question, wondering. It is very unusual for police to not work with AMW. However, they seem to not want to solve this case, why would that be? My thoughts, that they know who did it and just don’t want to pursue it because one of the guys involved was an informant. The police will tell you Lane Henley is their suspect – however, if that is true, which it probably is, he has gone on to be a suspect in another murder in another state, so the police failed at getting their guy. Why wouldn’t they welcome any help from anyone? Because they already know all the details and the guys who did these murders and don’t want to go get them. In fact, several witnesses who came forward implicating the same guy were told by police that this case would never be solved. Hmm. Their reluctance, especially to work w/AMW who is a friend of law enforcement, is very telling, in my little opinion.

I’m still trying to figure out what happened. When Doug Lawson recanted his witness statement, it would seem that one of two things happened: (1) he was telling the truth, or (2) he was not telling the truth. If you were to believe that his recantation was the truth, that leads you to believe that his original witness statement was a lie, maybe because he wanted a deal on his drug charges, but that leads one to wonder why he bothered to recant – I mean, if was willing to lie to get a deal, then I can’t imagine him suddenly having a change of heart and deciding, “No, I have to tell the truth, even if it means my going to prison for perjury”. So that scenario just doesn’t make sense. But if his recantation was NOT the truth, then you are lead to the obvious conclusion that somebody “got to him” and pressured him to change his testimony – even if it meant a multi-year prison sentence. Either way, it stinks. But let’s go down this path – let’s assume that somebody “got to him”. Who? If you assume that Lane Henley did it, but he had an accomplice (as Detective Antochi appears to believe), then I can imagine Lane sitting in jail waiting trial thinking/saying, “Just a minute, I’m not going down for these murders by myself”, and it would have been natural for him to consider making a deal with the prosecutors to get a lighter sentence. But his accomplice would have known of this and THIS person would have had a strong motive to pressure Doug Lawson to recant (perhaps telling him that his family would be at risk if he didn’t recant – after all, the accomplice would have been looking at possible life in prison if Lane flipped). This scenario makes sense to me. But it does not take into account any “informant” such as you suggest. I was just wondering how your “informant” scenario worked.

What if the informant is the accomplice who pressured Lawson?

I think you are on track and both scenarios could be true.

Henley was already talking about an accomplice, actually, saying it was this guy who did it and not him. So the accomplice has a lot to lose by letting Henley go down, as at trial, he will be implicated as well. So, he intimidates Lawson into recanting and next thing you know, Henley is free and the accomplice continues to fly under radar. By the way, Lawson also implicated the same “accomplice” – Bruce Castle.

Well, if Lane Henley is in Alamagordo, New Mexico, these days (doing what?), what is Bruce Castle doing?

You may want to look into Lane in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Recently his house caught fire, and his live in girlfriend died in it…
See Jan. 22nd 2008 Alamogordo Daily News. You can search under his name. Just makes this all the more creepy.

That is really weird. So this is where Lane actually lived?

Here’s the story, available from this Web site: http://www.abqjournal.com/abqnews/content/view/6061/2/

Written by Bruce Daniels – ABQnewsSeeker

Wednesday, 23 January 2008

Woman, 38, likely died of smoke inhalation in early Tuesday morning blaze.

When police and fire units of the Alamogordo Department of Public Safety responded to a mobile-home fire at 4:52 a.m. Tuesday, they found the trailer engulfed in flames and a resident, 51-year-old Lane Henley, outside the home, the Alamogordo Daily News reported.

“As more officers arrived to the scene, we learned that Mr. Henley’s longtime girlfriend was still inside the house,” Detective Mark Esquero told the Daily News. “The house was fully engulfed, and we couldn’t make entry into the home.”

Police were unable to do anything about the woman inside because of the flames and smaller explosions, possibly from fireworks or aerosol cans, inside the trailer, Esquero told the paper.

Once it was safe to enter the home, 38-year-old Amy Mirabal, was found dead near the rear of the trailer, the Daily News reported.

Esquero said a preliminary investigation points to smoke inhalation as the cause of Mirabal’s death, but that the investigation is continuing, the paper said.

Henley suffered second- and third-degree burns on both hands, forearms and part of his face, as well as severe smoke inhalation, and was taken to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo before being flown to the University Medical Center’s burn unit in Lubbock, the Daily News reported.

So, this is all that was reported in the paper?
He has killed again and is trying to cover it up. You have to believe it.

This is one of the news articles:

http://www.abqjournal.com/abqnews/content/view/6061/2/

By the way, Bruce Castle is still in Britton…As for new story on Lane, is it just coincidence you think, that now there are FOUR dead girls who were last seen with him across two different states and three different cities? This guy must be either the unluckiest guy on earth, OR, he is on a killing spree.

The Alamogordo paper had several articles on the fire, but they are now in their archives. Sorry about that. You can pay for the archive retrieval if you need the articles.

That’s ok, the articles can be easily seen by going to the link Ken posted here. Thanks Ken!

My name is lonnie dixon, I live in Madison, Wiconsin. I was a very good friend of Amy Mirabals. I did not ever meet lane and it has been a number of years since i had spoken to or seen amy. I have been looking for her for a number of year to no avail. I am mad and distraught that this is the way i had to find out where she has been living. I know that only God and Lane know what really has happened in her case and it is not for me to pass judgement without knowing the details. I just hope someone can give me some real details as to what happened no matter what the truth is. I would gladly receive any emails of phone calls. email is maximus10212003@yahoo.com and if you email me i will send you my phone # and i can call you back if you need. Thank you and Godspeed. Lonnie Dixon

How could anyone with any info be assured that they would not fall victim to any number of those out there that know the truth and are covering it up to protect their @@s or someone else’s’?

I don’t think anyone can be too careful, as whoever killed these girls is still free. On the other hand, if everyone who knows something is afraid to come forward, the killers win. I still have every faith that this case will be resolved. Sometimes, the passage of time can work in a positive way in these situations. Anyone pursuing the truth should be bold and persistent, but careful.

Regarding Bruce Castle, I did a look at his Oklahoma Department of Corrections rapsheet and mugshot:

http://docapp065p.doc.state.ok.us/servlet/page?_pageid=394&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&doc_num=99929&offender_book_id=222644

Flip through those 5 images/mugshots. WOW!!! The guy looks like some sort of Elephant Man. The accompanying description of bodymarks/tatoos describes him as being scarred because of “68% of body burned”. Whoa! Does anybody know what caused Bruce Castle to mutate into an Elephant Man? Meth explosion? And where did that scar on his neck come from? – the one that looks like somebody tried to slit his throat. And what year(s) did all this happen?

Bruce was burned in a fire……In Lane’s house.
Bruce was actually living in Lane Henley’s old house in North OKC when it burned down and that is how he received his deformed features.

.

I am completely dumbfounded that Henley has not been further investigated yet our local ADPS will tear your house apart and be aggressive for a pound of drugs, far more than this now suspicious “house fire.” Shame on them!

I have a family member who lives 2 houses over from Lane, not knowing who he was until this event. But I was over there today pondering how the house caught fire, etc and noticed there was a “for sale by owner” in the yard?! Excuse me… but who is going to purchase a half burnt house? Why is he in such a hurry to get rid of it? Aside from the fact, I first noticed all the personal belongings sitting out front next to a “yard sale” sign. Then was caught off guard by a man looking right back at me, who was Lane. I turned around to walk away and just had a chill go down my spine. I left and drove past the house to again observe the surroundings and also noticed all the windows boarded up except the front door and front bedroom window, which seemed a little odd.

So for those how had questions…. Lane isn’t in jail and I doubt he’s still being watched because the APDS is more concerned with the speeders on Hwy 70 during Holloman rush hour or the baseball fields; than a man who is apparently ready to move on to another town and possibly another unfortunate prey, who lingers under their noses.

I have a strong opinion, that there is more to Amy’s tragic death than the PD is taking serious. Why wasn’t an autopsy performed? Burning a body hides evidence… common sense people! I understand the families wishes but things should have been done in a different manner to help determine the “actual” cause of death verses the preliminary findings. I’m baffled! I have read what articles are still available, AMW and how the local media has/has not portrayed things. I believe he is guilty but without hard evidence and determination to find it… Lane will walk free. How disgusting!

I wish someone would dig deeper and find the justice these women deserve. May they rest in peace but closure is needed. My prayers go out to you all involved…. I applaud Michael R. for being a hero! Unfortunate how Lane couldn’t have met that fate instead of Amy.

Bruce was married to Janet at the time of the murders. Bruce and Cheryl were 2nd cousins. Not by blood, Bruce was brought to his father by a woman he had an affiar with. However, Bruce did not know this at the time. I get that you would concentrate on him but he does have a brother. This brother has confessed his involvement to me and no telling who else. He is living in a half way house in OKC fresh out of jail agian. He is a show off and a habitual liar. But I know there is some truth in what he said to me. Bruce will never fess up to what he knows. Tracy might. I will not write anything else or answer any questions. What he confessed to me was many years ago and he was wasted on crack or something like it at the at the time. I can’t stand him, I have more harsh feelings about Bruce. But most of all I am afriad of them. Trust me, these are bad people and I don’t ever want them to catch wind of who I am.

Thanks for writing, Jane Doe. We have heard from several people over the years that both Bruce and Tracy have repeatedly confessed/bragged about the murders. I have always believed in these people. There are many people who know what happened. If they would all come forward with what they know, this deal would be solved and justice would come.

Dorian, I know I said I would not write anymore or answer any questions. However, I started my statement with facts only someone in the family would know to show the validity of my statement of Tracy’s involvement. I think I was a little to vague and expected someone to be able to read between the lines. I have never come forward because when I told my mother what Tracy told me she thought he was just “showing off”. It was she that has now convinced me that I should write some sort of anonymous note or letter. I don’t know what good it will do, without a solid confession or murder weapon what I have said are just words. My memory of what he said that day has fadded with the years. One thing I know for sure, he said he was there. Tracy is the weakest of the two, and given the right opportunity I think someone who is skilled in great manipulation could out smart him and get him to talk.

Jane Doe, I believe you. Every single thing you wrote. I also appreciate your desire for anonymity. If you should ever want to talk privately, please feel free to email me at Dorian7@cox.net. You never know what good a certain piece of information might do, as there are many different pieces of info which only lack that one missing one. Perhap you have it. I will always respect your anonymity, even should you choose to email me. Thanks for your thoughts and for writing. For years, I have believed both Castles were present and involved. And that Tracy is the weak link. It would be so great to get this case resolved for all involved and finally have justice long overdue the killers. Take care.

jane doe, i am the mother of cheryl and lisa,and i too appreciate yo ur info. if only some one of all the persons who has told this(and other)stories of what they had heard tracy, etc. say they done.perhaps this case would not keep falling on deaf ears.but it seems that people talk to police, etc,and that is as far as it goes.this is how the okc. city police dept. has handled this case since day one.now 20 years later the same people are telling same stories only afraid of bruce or someone else.if you or any of the others would call police now today perhaps the new group of homicide police would listen.you know you can remain anonymous?????even if you didn’t,just think people there is 4 girls brutally murdered, and some one could have stopped at least 2 of them. we too know bruce ,tracy ,lane, and chuck all know what happened. and were involved in our case some how.people in britton area know,but for some unknown reason won’t say anything. is bruce such a bad a–,that all is deathly afraid of him.??????????????if i were 30 years younger and in better health i would knock the s— out of him till he talked. and beg for his life,like my girls did. but i am too old now and in very bad health that this is all a dream. back when this happen i thought the police would take care of it,WRONG. i could have taken care of bruce then. so all i have now is the dear lord and PEOPLE BRAVE ENOUGH TO TELL THEIR STORY TO THE NEW POLICE IN HOMICIDE.IF ALL WOULD CALL AND TELL WE MAY GET THESE SCUM-BAGS PUT WHERE THEY BELONG.AND ANOTHER FAMILY WILL NOT BE GOING THOUGH WHAT WE HAVE FOR 20 PLUS YEARS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HOPE AND PRAY YOU AND ALL OTHERS HEAR THEIR HEARTS TALKING TO THEM AND CALL OKC. POLICE(homicide) GOD BLESS

Charlotte,
I’m sorry.
You have to understand, I don’t know the “Britton” crowd. I never ran with them. I am a member of the family that won’t even show up for gatherings if there is a hint that Bruce or Tracy will be there. The last time I saw Bruce was right after he got out of Tulsa hospital. When I got the call about him being burned up I felt guilty because I hated him so bad and then he was hurt. My mom had to ask me if I would feel different about him if he was never hurt and I had to say no. That eased my guilt about my ill feelings towards him and I never looked back or felt sorry for him agian. He surely didn’t change his lifestyle or look at the accident as God giving him another chance.
I AM afriad of him. He abused me when I was a child. It must have started when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I don’t remember how I got him to quit. I am way too close to this.

I remember the call about Cheryl and Lisa. Charlotte, I have been to your house. I remeber Cheryl making us peanut butter and syrup and butter and honey to dip our bread into. PLEASE, PLEASE, RESPECT THAT I CAN NOT EVER BE KNOWN!!! I have not seen Tracy for about 15 years, that is when he told me he was there that night. He also told me to never try crack, like he was someone to preach, I laughed at him and left him where he sat. He is a bloody idiot. As I said before, when I told my mom what he said she said he was being a show off and trying to look impressive. I never got that analogy. Whe I saw them on AMA ( I was called and told there was a peice airing about the murders) I was horrified and again talked with my mom about what he said. Perhaps she was worried what would happen to my family and me if I did come forward. Now, I have to tell you agian, I CAN’T EVER BE KNOWN!!! I REFUSE TO BE AROUND THEM, EVER! If you trust Dorian, I will e-mail her / him and tell her / him what I know. Or, if there is someone else you think I should tell this to I will write them. Please Charlotte, I will help you any way I can but don’t try to figure out who I am. I don’t know any more than what Tracy said to me. I never knew Lane or any of the other players. I do know about the fliers being put out but I have never seen one. I think that should keep being done. I do know it stikes a nerve in people to have that done. Bruce and his girlfriend are living back home with mom right now and Tracy is in a half way house in OKC.

Jane Doe,

This is Ken Raymond, the moderator of this site. I strongly encourage you to speak with Kyle Eastridge or Mike Burke in the Oklahoma City police cold case unit.

Tipsters may remain anonymous.

It is possible your information is too little to act on. But it’s equally possible that it will prove significant to the detectives who are trying to find justice for Cheryl and Lisa.

You can reach the cold case unit at 405-297-1127. Crime Stoppers is 405-235-7300.

Another year of the fair has went by and still no one has stepped up to discuss what REALLY happened the night that my sisters were killed. Can someone please let us know. My dad is gone now as he passed Sept the 8th and he has taken all the sorrow of his daughters deaths with him, not fair. Someone, please let us know, mother is not doing well either and I really want this resolved soon. PLEASE HELP
