Here’s what they posted about the Pewitt slaying:
On June 4, 1988, the body of twenty five year old Mary Elizabeth Pewitt was found inside her residence in Comanche, Oklahoma. A divorced mother of two, Mary worked at a local bar and had closed the establishment around midnight June 3. After driving over to the bar owner’s house where she dropped off the day’s proceeds, she returned home where she was met by a boyfriend. Mary and her boyfriend visited for a short while before he left the residence becoming the last person known to have seen her alive. It was shortly after the boyfriend’s departure that investigators believe someone entered the house and viciously stabbed Mary to death. Mary had recently been involved in a volatile relationship regarding child support. On the night she was murdered, Mary’s children were not at the home because they had spent the night with Mary’s parents. The OSBI did not enter the case until 1997 when the agency asked to assist the Comanche Police Department.
