Teaser trailer
A short video trailer has been posted on the Cold Case OKC site. It’s a sneak peek at the next case, which debuts Sunday in print and online. Check it out at www.coldcaseokc.com.
Chalk up another one
It’s official. Cold Case OKC received another honor Friday night, winning a first-place First Amendment Award from the Society of Professional Journalists in the online project category.
We couldn’t be there for the award banquet in Arlington, but we’re pretty happy all the same.
New case on its way
On June 4, 1988, the body of Mary Pewitt, 25, was found in her Comanche home. She had been stabbed to death.
For almost 20 years, the case has remained unsolved.
Do you have any information about the case? Did you know Mary Pewitt? If so, contact us here at Cold Case OKC.
The story’s coming soon.
Tooting our own horn
We at Cold Case OKC (soon to be known as Cold Case Oklahoma) don’t do this for public acclaim. Our goal is to help families find justice — justice that is often long overdue.
But we’re proud of our work, so please allow us a moment to toot our own horn.
Cold Case OKC recently won an Addy award in the Interactive Media-Online category. The honor went to the Web team who built and maintain the Cold Case OKC Web site.
Two weeks ago, the Cold Case OKC print stories won first place in the public service reporting category of the 2007 Carl Rogan journalism awards.
Judges said: “A prime example of public service. Great job of bringing these cold cases back into (the) spotlight. The stories tugged at readers’ emotions and no doubt brought back memories for those who lived through it. Great job of reporting — and changing how the police department deals with unsolved homicides.”
Cold Case OKC is also a finalist for a Society of Professional Journalists’ First Amendment Award. Winners will be announced Friday in Arlington, Texas.
Thanks for your patience. We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.
Chute probably not Cooper’s
The Associated Press is reporting that the parachute found by children in Washington state recently “could not have been used by D.B. Cooper.” The assertion is attributed to the man who packed Cooper’s parachutes in 1971.
