Russell Lee Roberts, 45, was found shot to death inside his Tulsa home at 1539 E. 56th St. North on July 14, 2000. The scene led investigators to treat the death as a homicide that may have begun as a home invasion or robbery.

A key and unsettling detail is that there were no signs of forced entry, which prompted detectives to consider that Roberts may have known his killer and opened the door willingly. Those who knew him described him as a loner who struggled with alcohol, details investigators noted as they tried to piece together motive and opportunity.

The case eventually went cold and no arrests have been made. If anyone knew Russell, his routines, visitors to that address, or has information about who might have been with him in July 2000, please come forward.
