OSBI Assists Tahlequah Police Department with Double Murder

Tahlequah Police and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation are working a double homicide at 106 Louellen. Wednesday evening, Tahlequah P.D. was requested to conduct a welfare check at that location. When no one would come to the door, officers made entry and found two bodies with significant trauma. The Tahlequah Police Department contacted OSBI agents for assistance.

Investigators are working to confirm the identities of the male and female victims and to locate persons of interest who might be able to provide information on the case.
