The search for a missing Oklahoma woman is over on a tragic note, with the discovery of human remains in a shallow grave in Tulsa. Authorities have confirmed that the remains have been positively identified as Tyra Whitaker, who vanished in January of this year. Now detectives intend on charging the man who last saw her with murder.

Did a serial killer murder Tyra Whitaker? The missing Oklahoma woman was last seen in January with a man named Terryl Brooks, who has been charged in association with the murders of at least two other women. According to News 6 Tulsa, Brooks is already in jail on these murder charges — and the discovery of Whitaker’s body will likely add to the accused killer’s body count.

The loved ones of Tyra Whitaker at least have the closure of knowing what happened to the missing woman, but full closure won’t be had until justice is served. If you know anything about the murder of this Oklahoma woman, or the man accused of killing her you are encouraged to call Tulsa Crimestoppers or speak directly with the Tulsa PD.
