Thyler Payne was 19 when his body was found in Oklahoma City on October 11, 2009. The scene showed signs of trauma and authorities classified the death as a homicide. No suspect was publicly identified and no arrests were announced in the early investigation.

Detectives later marked the case cold as leads dried up. On the ten-year anniversary of the killing they renewed public appeals, asking anyone with information to come forward, but those efforts did not produce a reported breakthrough. Thyler’s family remains without answers and the person or persons responsible have not been identified.

If anyone knew Thyler, saw him in Oklahoma City around October 11, 2009, or has information about his death, please contact investigators.
