On a late autumn day in 1989, the quiet of a farm near Wyandotte in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, was shattered by a grim discovery. Raymond Laverne Frazier, a 44-year-old White/Caucasian male, was found murdered on his property on November 30th. It was Frazier's own daughter, accompanied by a friend, who stumbled upon the tragic scene. Frazier had been fatally shot in the head, a violent end to a life that remains shrouded in mystery.
In the years that have passed since his death, the case
of Raymond Frazier has grown cold, the identity of his killer an unanswered question that has haunted his family and investigators. Despite extensive inquiries, no arrests have ever been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The motive behind the killing is a subject of speculation. One prevailing theory suggests Frazier was silenced because he possessed dangerous knowledge: the supposed location of two buried bodies. This belief has led investigators down a path exploring Frazier's business dealings, including his co-ownership of a Tulsa strip club called Lady Godiva with a former Tulsa County Assistant District Attorney. Some have theorized that Frazier may have inadvertently witnessed the disposal of two women connected to the nightclub, though no concrete evidence has ever surfaced to support this.
The desire for answers has not faded with time. In 2017, a glimmer of hope emerged when the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the state's Medical Examiner's Office, revisited Frazier's farm. Acting on a tip, investigators brought in cadaver dogs to search the property. The dogs showed interest in two specific areas: a small pond and a large burn pile. The subsequent excavation unearthed bone fragments and teeth, but the initial promise of a breakthrough turned to disappointment when the remains were determined to be of animal origin. A distant cousin of Frazier's, working as a private investigator, has also been instrumental in keeping the case in the public eye, tirelessly pushing for new leads. Despite these renewed efforts, the case of Raymond Laverne Frazier's murder officially remains unsolved, leaving his loved ones still waiting for justice.
