In the autumn of 2007, the life of 53-year-old Roger Dale Crisp, a Caucasian male, was brutally cut short in Oklahoma City. On November 9th, a grim discovery was made near Mustang Road and Southwest 44th Street. First responders were called to the scene of a vehicle fire, and inside the scorched remains of a minivan, they found Crisp's body. It was immediately apparent that the fire was not the cause of his death.
An investigation by the Oklahoma City Police Department revealed a more
sinister story. The medical examiner determined that Roger Crisp had been stabbed multiple times, and the fire was intentionally set in an attempt to conceal the violent crime. Despite a thorough investigation into the homicide, authorities have been unable to identify a suspect or make any arrests in the years that have followed. The motive behind the killing of the man, described by his loved ones as fun-loving and not one to seek conflict, remains a baffling mystery to both his family and investigators.
In their search for answers, police have appealed to the public for any information that might shed light on Crisp's final hours. They believe he may have been in the vicinity of Southeast 66th Street and Shields Boulevard or near Interstate 240 and Eastern Avenue on the night he was killed. Desperate for closure, Crisp's family has offered a substantial reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for his death. The case remains an open and active investigation, a cold case filled with lingering questions and the hope that one day justice will be served for Roger Crisp.
