In the autumn of 2020, the life of Elizabeth 'Betsy' Stockard-McGirt, a 46-year-old woman, was tragically cut short in what police have described as a murder-suicide in Oklahoma City. On October 23, 2020, authorities were called to a residence to investigate a violent and fatal incident.
Inside the home, police discovered the body of Elizabeth Stockard-McGirt, who had been fatally shot. Also found at the scene was a deceased male, who investigators believe was responsible for her death.
The preliminary investigation led detectives to the conclusion that the man shot and killed Stockard-McGirt before turning the gun on himself.
As the case was determined to be a murder-suicide, there was no search for any other suspects. The investigation concluded with the identification of the deceased male as the sole perpetrator. Consequently, no arrests were made in connection with the death of Elizabeth Stockard-McGirt. The incident left friends, family, and the community to mourn the loss of a woman remembered by those who knew her.
