Do you know what happened to Lewis? On a late summer day, the quiet stillness of Bird Creek in Tulsa, Oklahoma was broken by a grim discovery. On September 12, 2004, the body of 33-year-old Lewis Douglas Parnosky was found by a fisherman on the east bank of the creek, underneath the Mohawk Bridge in the 8500 block of East 56th Street North. This discovery marked the unfortunate end to a search that began when he was reported missing on September 2nd of that year.
Investigators believe that the location where his body was
found was not the scene of the crime. Evidence suggests that Parnosky was likely killed at another location on or around August 26, 2004, and his body was later transported and left under the bridge. Blood droplets found splattered on the bridge above where he was discovered hinted at the tragic events that transpired.
In the years that have followed, the case of Lewis Douglas Parnosky's death has grown cold. Detectives have received no significant leads to point them toward a suspect or suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with his murder. The prevailing theory among law enforcement is that the person or persons responsible for his death were known associates of his. Parnosky was known to spend a considerable amount of his time at the Northridge Shopping Center located at 5300 North Peoria Avenue, a detail that investigators hoped would yield clues, but so far has not led to a resolution. The full story of what happened to Lewis Douglas Parnosky in the final days of August 2004 remains untold, his case an open and unresolved homicide.
