In a quiet Owasso, Oklahoma neighborhood, the lives of 36-year-old Matthew John Clark, a male, and 29-year-old Eva M. Clark came to a tragic end on June 3, 2018. Concerned family members, unable to reach the couple, requested a welfare check at their home in the Elm Creek Neighborhood. What emergency responders discovered inside painted a grim picture of the events that had transpired.
Upon entering the residence, medics found both Matthew and Eva deceased.
Initial observations from law enforcement indicated that both individuals had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. The scene prompted an immediate and intensive investigation by Owasso Police detectives. As they began to piece together the evidence, a preliminary theory emerged, suggesting the incident was a murder-suicide.
In the days following the discovery, the Owasso Police Department released the identities of the deceased after notifying their next of kin. While the investigation was ongoing, authorities stated that they were not actively searching for any suspects. There was no evidence to suggest a wider threat to the community in connection with the tragic event.
While an obituary for Eva Marie Clark was publicly shared, detailing her life as a loving mother and certified esthetician, no such public memorial has been found for Matthew John Clark. The initial suggestion of a murder-suicide has not been publicly updated or altered by law enforcement, leaving the final conclusion of the investigation unclear. To date, there have been no announcements of any arrests or the identification of any other suspects in the deaths of Matthew and Eva Clark.
