Do you know who murdered Neoma?
In the spring of 1982, a quiet Tulsa neighborhood was shaken by a grim discovery that would leave a family heartbroken and a community on edge. On the morning of April 19th, a concerned mother and a neighbor went to check on Neoma Ferm Hickson at her home located at 13235 E. 29th Place. Upon entering the residence, their concern turned to horror when they found the 41-year-old female deceased.
The scene within the home told a violent story. Neoma had been shot, and her death was determined to be a result of her injuries. The tranquility of her suburban home had been shattered by an act of violence that left more questions than answers. In the days and weeks that followed, investigators worked to piece together the events that led to her untimely death, but the case grew cold.
Decades have passed since Neoma Hickson was found, yet her case remains an open and unsolved homicide. No arrests have ever been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with her murder. The passage of time has not diminished the hope for justice, and her case remains a poignant reminder of a life cut short, leaving a family to grapple with an unresolved loss. The Tulsa Police Department continues to list her death as a cold case, awaiting any new information that might finally bring a resolution to this long-standing mystery.
