Do you know who murdered Betty? In the quiet city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a seventy-nine-year-old woman named Betty Jo Martin, who was legally blind, lived a life that was tragically cut short on January 12, 1999. On that day, a sound from her daughter's house next door drew her attention. Unbeknownst to her, she was about to walk into a perilous situation.
Believing something was amiss, she went to investigate, only to interrupt a burglary in progress.
The intruder, caught in the act, turned on the vulnerable elderly woman. In a brutal act of violence, Betty Jo was severely beaten and strangled, her life taken from her in a place that should have been safe.
The crime left the community in shock and her family devastated. Despite the efforts of the Tulsa Police Department, the person or persons responsible for her murder were never brought to justice. Her case remains an unsolved mystery, a cold case file that speaks to a violent end to a long life, and the lingering questions of who was responsible for the death of Betty Jo Martin. The investigation is ongoing, with the hope that one day, new information will lead to a breakthrough and provide closure for her loved ones.
