On September 12, 2004, a fisherman found the body of 33-year-old Lewis Douglas Parnosky on the east bank of Bird Creek underneath the Mohawk Bridge in the 8500 block of East 56th Street North, Tulsa. He had been reported missing on September 2, and investigators believe he was likely killed elsewhere on or around August 26, 2004, then moved to the bridge area. Blood droplets on the bridge above where his body was recovered suggest violence occurred prior to the body being left there.

Detectives say no significant leads have emerged and no arrests have been made; the prevailing theory is that whoever killed Parnosky was an associate. He was known to spend a lot of time at Northridge Shopping Center at 5300 North Peoria Avenue, a detail investigators hoped would help but that has not resolved the case. The circumstances of his final days remain unclear.

If anyone knew Lewis Douglas Parnosky, his associates, or saw anything unusual around late August or early September 2004 near Bird Creek or Northridge Shopping Center, please come forward with tips.
