On a Saturday morning in March 2013 a North Tulsa home became the scene of a brutal killing. Eighteen-year-old Gabrielle Monique Bledsoe, known as Gabby, was found dead on the floor by her mother, Lacrecia Bledsoe. A kitchen knife was lodged in the back of her neck; investigators reported no immediate signs of a struggle. Gabrielle was a high school junior with a 3.8 GPA who had written on social media the night before that she had the house to herself and tweeted at 9:24 p.m. that she was going to get something to eat.

Tulsa police collected DNA and fingerprint evidence from a person of interest but did not obtain a definitive match tying anyone to the murder. Attention focused on James Roylee Barber, an ex-boyfriend of Gabrielle’s mother, who had prior assault charges involving Lacrecia in 2010; those charges were later dropped. Police described Barber as a person of interest who was uncooperative, but authorities did not have enough evidence to charge him in Gabrielle’s death. Barber was arrested on unrelated warrants on March 13, 2013, and later pleaded guilty to gun and drug charges; he served a sentence and has not been formally accused in this homicide. The case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in North Tulsa at the time see Gabby out that night or notice anyone entering the house through the kitchen door?
