Do you know who murdered Zelda? In the early spring of 1985, a sequence of events unfolded that would end the life of Zelda Mae Jordan-Fox, a thirty-six-year-old woman, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On March 7th of that year, she was discovered on North Boulder with a gunshot wound to her chest. Despite the grievous injury, she clung to life for ten days in a local hospital before she ultimately succumbed to the fatal wound.
At the time of her death, law enforcement noted that Zelda was known to be a sex worker in the vicinity
of the 700 N. Main area. Her death is officially classified as a murder and remains an unsolved cold case. There is a discrepancy in her last name, with her burial and death certificate listing her as Jordan, while the Tulsa Police Department records her as Fox. The origin of the surname Fox in connection with her case is unknown.
The investigation into the murder of Zelda Mae Jordan-Fox has yielded no arrests, and there is no publicly available information regarding any potential suspects. The circumstances surrounding her shooting and the identity of her killer remain a mystery to this day. Her case is one of several unsolved homicides in the Tulsa area, a somber reminder of a life cut short by violence.
