Rickey Lee Furr was 54 when a dispute over who had the right to occupy a modest house in the 1000 block of North Quaker Avenue in Tulsa turned deadly in the spring of 2008. On the evening of May 7, an argument inside the residence spilled into the yard, and witnesses later told investigators Furr was struck repeatedly in the head both inside and outside the home. He was knocked unconscious by a final blow in the front yard, rushed to a hospital with severe blunt-force head trauma, and died on May 25, 2008; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from those injuries.

Witnesses described the assailant as a young white man about 25, roughly 5 feet 10 inches and 190 pounds, with short dark hair and a stubbly beard, who left in a yellow or tan vehicle with three other men. Prosecutors later charged Carl Allen Couch Jr. with first-degree manslaughter over the assault, alleging he matched that description.

Did anyone in Tulsa recognize the man or the yellow or tan vehicle seen leaving the Quaker Avenue house that night?
