George Barnosky, a well-known disability activist in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was found murdered at his home at 2440 E. 5th Place on August 17, 1993. A man who used a wheelchair and had cerebral palsy, Barnosky had been instrumental in campaigning for ramps and other accessibility improvements in the Kendall-Whittier district and was widely regarded for his kindness and advocacy.

His caretaker, Rose Marie Turpin, discovered him after speaking with him by phone the night before; he had seemed in good spirits. He was found on the living room floor and the scene indicated a violent struggle. Investigators determined he had been strangled and noted that his wallet, money, and checkbook were missing, suggesting robbery as an apparent motive. No arrests have been announced and the homicide remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Kendall-Whittier area remember unusual activity near 2440 E. 5th Place around mid-August 1993 or have information that could help the investigation?
