Greta Laura Riles, an African American woman, disappeared from Tulsa, Oklahoma around June 21, 1991 at about 22 years old. Her family did not report her missing until July 2012, a delay they later attributed to concerns about her lifestyle. Friends and associates had assumed she was dead for years before an identity was ever established.

In December 1992 a hunter found skeletal remains in woods near 5800 North Harvard Avenue in Tulsa. A hair net and a distinctive seashell-styled hair clip were recovered with the remains. The Medical Examiner estimated the decedent as an African American female, 18 to 26 years old, 5 feet 0 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, nulliparous, and that death occurred one to six years before discovery. No match was made at the time and the case went cold.

Advances in forensic technology and the later missing-person report led authorities to identify the remains as Greta Laura Riles in March 2017. The manner of death is listed as unknown and the case is considered a homicide; no arrests have been announced. Investigators have suggested the person or persons responsible may have been known to Greta. Does anyone have information about Greta’s life in Tulsa around 1991 that could help investigators?
