On March 29, 1989, firefighters in Tulsa, Oklahoma responded to an apartment fire and found 27-year-old Carol Sue Pittman and her 17-month-old daughter, Kasey Wald, in a smoke-filled unit. The infant was taken to hospital and later died of smoke inhalation.

What was first treated as an accidental fire changed after further examination. Carol’s remains showed no carbon monoxide in her blood, suggesting she was not breathing when the fire began. Her body was exhumed for autopsy, which found a broken bone in her neck; her death was officially ruled a homicide by strangulation. Investigators concluded the fire had been set to conceal the killing.

Carol had previously filed for an emergency protective order against the child’s father, although that order was dismissed. The Tulsa Police Department lists the double homicide of Carol and Kasey as unsolved and no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced.

If anyone knew Carol or Kasey, or has information about that March 1989 apartment fire, please come forward.
