Do you know who murdered Edna? On a Tuesday afternoon in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the life of Edna Higgs, a hardworking wife, mother, and grandmother, was tragically cut short. On September 24, 1985, while working at the Springdale Wine & Liquor store she and her husband had owned for two decades, a place where they had made many friends, she was shot and killed during an armed robbery.
The assailant not only took her life but also fled with some of her personal belongings, leaving behind a family devastated by the sudden and violent loss.
In the immediate aftermath, her family had hoped for a swift resolution to the case, expecting that the person responsible for this senseless act would be quickly brought to justice. However, as days turned into weeks, and weeks into years, their hopes began to fade. The investigation into Edna Higgs's murder grew cold, leaving her loved ones with unanswered questions and a profound sense of injustice. No arrests were ever made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with her death.
Decades later, the case of Edna Higgs's murder remains an open and unsolved cold case with the Tulsa Police Department. Her family, still grappling with their loss, continues to hold out hope that someone with information will come forward. They have expressed their desperation for answers and justice for Edna, a woman remembered as a 'no-nonsense,' great mother and a terrific grandmother who could tackle just about any task. With the advancement of forensic technology, they remain hopeful that evidence from the scene could one day be re-examined and finally lead to the identification and capture of the person or persons responsible for her death.
