On October 21, 1979, in Oklahoma City, 42-year-old Jesse E. Taylor, a Black man, was killed alongside his girlfriend, Marion Vera Bresette.

Franklin later confessed to numerous murders and shootings across the country and was arrested in 1980. The deaths of Taylor and Bresette are presented as part of that broader pattern of ideologically driven violence. The motive in this incident is described as rooted in racial hatred.

Did anyone in Oklahoma City at the time know Jesse or Marion, or have information about what happened that night?
