Mary Pewitt, 25, was found murdered in her Comanche, Oklahoma, home on the morning of June 4, 1988. Her two daughters had been with their grandmother overnight and were brought home to find their mother covered in blood; one child saw the scene through a window. Mary had been stabbed more than 30 times in the neck and upper body and had defensive wounds. The struggle appeared to start in the living room and end in the bedroom where her body was found.

There were no signs of forced entry; a side door with a broken knob that Mary had secured with a bungee cord was undisturbed, leading investigators to consider someone known to her. Early inquiries focused on three ex-husbands and men who had shown interest in Mary at the bar where she worked, including itinerant laborers. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation assumed the case in 1997. In 2022 and 2023, search warrants for DNA and prints were executed in Texas targeting one ex-husband and his then-wife, but no arrest has been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Mary or lived in Comanche that summer have information that could help bring clarity to this case?
