Do you know what happened to Lee Gene? In the summer of 1991, a grim discovery was made in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that would begin a decades-long mystery. On June 29, human remains were found at the 2600 block of West 158th Street South. These remains were later identified as belonging to 13-year-old Lee Gene Stebens, a young male who had run away from a juvenile shelter prior to his death. The case was quickly determined to be a homicide.
When his body was discovered, Stebens was wearing a blue and white striped shirt and gray
slacks. He also had on multiple red and orange friendship bracelets, a poignant detail of his youth. Despite the passage of time, the case of Lee Gene Stebens' death remains an active cold case with the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office.
Law enforcement has not publicly identified any suspects in the murder of Lee Gene Stebens. There is no information available in online sources to indicate that any arrests have ever been made in connection with his death. The investigation into who is responsible for the death of the 13-year-old boy continues, with his case listed among Tulsa's unsolved crimes in the hope that new leads will emerge.
