Do you know who murdered David? In the early morning hours of January 8, 2017, the body of 38-year-old David Atchison was discovered on a roadway in southwest Oklahoma City. Officers had been responding to reports of a body when they made the grim discovery. Investigators noted that Atchison had sustained trauma consistent with a homicide, and his death was officially ruled as such.
In the immediate aftermath, the Oklahoma City police had not identified any suspects, and no arrests were made, leaving the case unsolved.
David Lamare Atchison II, as he was fully named, was a veteran of the United States Army who had served his country with distinction. After his military service, he earned degrees in Civil Engineering and Criminal Justice. He was known by friends and family as an avid bass tournament fisherman. When not working, he could often be found on a lake or tending to his fishing equipment. He was survived by his parents and brothers.
As the investigation into his death continued, details emerged suggesting a person of interest. Atchison's ex-wife was reportedly the last person to have seen him alive in the early morning hours before his body was found at her home, approximately 15 miles from where he was discovered. Questions arose regarding his ex-wife's potential involvement, particularly after it was revealed that she was the beneficiary of his life insurance policies totaling a significant amount. Despite these suspicions and the ongoing investigation, there have been no public announcements of any arrests in connection with the murder of David Atchison.
