Michael Charles Anderson was 45 when his body was found in the side yard of a residence at 3204 N. Hartford Avenue in Tulsa in the early hours of April 25, 1998. A neighbor called 911 at about 4 a.m., and investigators determined Anderson had been stabbed to death, suffering multiple wounds. Several people were inside the house on the property at the time, but the case grew cold and no suspect has been publicly identified or arrested.

Separately, another Tulsa man named Michael Anderson was shot in the pre-dawn hours of October 28, 1997; he was struck while asleep when assailants fired from a vehicle in front of his home and died three days later. That shooting likewise remains unsolved and without arrests. The Tulsa Police Department Cold Case Unit is asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew either man or has information about the April 1998 stabbing or the October 1997 shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
