In the small town of Elgin, Oklahoma, a grim discovery was made on December 17, 2016, leaving the community in shock. Inside a home, authorities found the bodies of 36-year-old Jennifer Foy and 41-year-old Raul Nathan Fimbres. Both had been killed by gunfire in what was described as a brutal event, prompting an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
Jennifer Foy, a native of Urbana, Ohio, was a woman of many accomplishments.
She was a graduate of Urbana High School and held a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Ashland University. A decorated veteran, she had served in the U.S. Army, achieving the rank of Captain. At the time of her death, she was working as a human resources federal technician at Fort Sill. Those who knew her described her as a positive, upbeat, and giving person who had a passion for travel and was considered a wine connoisseur.
The investigation into the deaths of Jennifer Foy and Raul Fimbres was taken over by the OSBI. Despite the violent nature of their deaths, details regarding a motive or potential suspects have not been publicly released. There have been no announcements of any arrests made in connection with the case.
The community was left to mourn the loss of two lives taken so suddenly. Jennifer's obituary noted that she was 'brutally taken' and encouraged those attending her memorial service to wear purple ribbons to honor her memory, a color often associated with domestic violence awareness. The investigation into the double homicide remains ongoing.
