Do you know who killed Darlynna? On a Tuesday morning, the twenty-second of June in 1993, the body of 30-year-old Darlynna Fillmore, a female, was discovered in a secluded field near 57th West Avenue and Newton Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A man who was collecting cans in the area stumbled upon her remains at approximately 7:45 a.m. The location was merely a mile from where she resided. An investigation determined that the young mother of two had been brutally beaten and stabbed.
Her clothing was found discarded nearby.
Later that day, Darlynna's husband, Gregg Fillmore, contacted the authorities after seeing a news report about the discovery of a body, believing it might be his wife. He informed the police that he had last seen her at 5:30 p.m. the previous evening. In a turn of events, Gregg Fillmore was arrested for his wife's murder and spent nearly ten months in jail. His friend, Jeffrey Allen Beckford, was also taken into custody and charged as an accessory after the fact.
Ultimately, the charges against both men were dropped without prejudice, with prosecutors citing a lack of sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. Gregg Fillmore has consistently maintained his innocence in the years following his release. The murder of Darlynna Fillmore remains an unsolved cold case, leaving her family with unanswered questions about the brutal end to her life.
