UNSOLVED MURDER CASES ACROSS OKLAHOMA
-- Premiering Saturday, November 24 on Investigation Discovery --
Each episode of
KILLER UNKNOWN chronicles the TCSO Cold Case Task Force as they re-examine the Woodson and Dean cases with fresh eyes, speaking with loved ones and reviewing evidence through modern technology in hopes of generating new leads for the cases.
Created in June 2016, the TCSO Cold Case Task Force is comprised of seasoned homicide detectives and specialized experts who volunteer their time and expertise to reviewing
unsolved cases from different perspectives. Led by retired Tulsa police sergeant Mike Huff, the task force focuses its resources on cases with the highest probability of being solved with fresh new leads and modern forensic technologies. The task force is
currently examining 31 cases across Tulsa County, with the ultimate
goal of finding answers and justice for victims and their families.
About Dena Ann Dean
On June 6, 1998, 16-year-old Dena Dean was working at her after-school job at Arby’s in Tulsa, OK. After work, Dena asked her parents, Larry and Diana, if she could go to local grocery store Marvin’s Food Warehouse
to see her best friend, as well as her boyfriend. With her parent’s permission, Dena left her shift and drove to Marvin’s – but was never heard from again. When Dena failed to return home after curfew, her parents became uneasy; that uneasiness turned to panic
when they received a call from a friend who found Dena’s car. A manhunt was launched, and six days later, Dena’s body was found at a local dump site where kids would often hang out – it was too decomposed to determine a specific cause of death. Now, 20 years
later, the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office has several new leads – but can they finally solve this case for good?
About Veda Woodson
A mother of four, 38-year-old Veda Woodson was willing to make great sacrifices for her kids. That’s why, on July 26, 1973, she left home for her late-night job as a cleaning woman at First National Bank in Tulsa, OK. It was just the second
night of the first job she ever had. Her husband and children couldn’t have known they’d never see her again. At approximately 1 AM, Woodson was on her 20-minute drive home when her 1958 Chevrolet broke down on the side of the road. Stranded in her vehicle,
another car pulled up behind hers. Was someone going to help? Hope quickly turned to terror, as the stranger broke Woodson’s car window, dragged her out of the vehicle, and then raped and strangled her. The next day, Woodson’s body was discovered by her brothers
in a nearby field. Her killer has never been found.
