In the quiet town of Beggs, Oklahoma, the tranquility was shattered on September 7, 2019, with the discovery of a horrific crime. Inside a rural home, authorities found the bodies of 69-year-old Evelyn Kaye Chandler, her husband, 65-year-old Jack Randall Chandler, and their 43-year-old daughter, Tiffany Eichor. All three had been shot to death in what investigators would later describe as a calculated and brutal triple homicide.
The investigation into the violent deaths of the female
victim and her family soon uncovered a sinister plot, allegedly born out of a desire to silence a witness. At the center of the investigation were a well-known Oklahoma City defense attorney, Keegan Harroz, and her client-turned-lover, Barry Titus II. Prosecutors allege that the primary target of the attack was Tiffany Eichor. She had been in a relationship with Titus and had a pending domestic assault case against him, in which she was the key witness. It is believed that Evelyn and Jack Chandler were killed simply because they were present in the house and could have identified the perpetrators.
According to court documents, the crime was meticulously planned. On the morning of the murders, authorities claim Harroz and Titus drove from Texas to the Chandler's residence in Beggs. Once there, they allegedly cut the power and phone lines to the house before forcing their way inside. The intruders were reportedly captured on the home's security cameras. Jack Chandler was the first to be killed, followed by his daughter, Tiffany, who was reportedly chased down a hallway and shot multiple times in the back. Evelyn Kaye Chandler was found in a closet, where she had apparently been trying to hide from the attackers. Investigators determined that two different types of weapons were used in the commission of the crime.
The investigation quickly led law enforcement to Harroz and Titus. Evidence against the pair included Titus's DNA found on a baseball cap near the crime scene and surveillance footage showing a car similar to Harroz's Lexus in the vicinity. A significant breakthrough came when Harroz's own brother turned an AR-15 rifle over to the police, stating he believed it was involved in the triple homicide.
In April of 2021, both Keegan Harroz and Barry Titus II were charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree burglary. They have both pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors have announced that they will be seeking the death penalty for both defendants. As of late 2025, the case has been fraught with delays, and a trial is not expected to begin until at least 2026, causing continued anguish for the victims' surviving family members.
