In September 2013, the discovery of a man's body in a vacant lot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, launched an investigation into the death of 36-year-old Terrence Monroe Washington. A contractor mowing the overgrown lot near McLain High School stumbled upon the remains and immediately alerted the authorities.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a body that was badly decomposed, indicating that it had likely been there for a significant period of time. An identification card found on the body led to the tentative identification of Terrence Monroe Washington. Due to the state of decomposition, the immediate cause of death was not apparent, and the case was handed over to homicide detectives to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
The body was sent to the Medical Examiner's office for an autopsy to confirm the identity and to determine the cause and manner of death. At the time of the discovery, investigators appealed to the public for information, asking anyone who had been in recent contact with Washington to come forward. However, there have been no subsequent public announcements regarding the final autopsy results, nor have any suspects or arrests been mentioned in connection with the case. The investigation into the death of Terrence Washington remains without a publicly disclosed resolution.
