Lisa Ann Ledbetter, 24, was last seen after midnight on September 24, 1984, leaving Jake & Elwood’s Tavern on South Peoria in Tulsa with an unidentified man. Between 1:30 am and 2:00 am she spoke with a friend working at a nearby convenience store; that was one of her last known contacts.

Her body was found the next morning, September 25, in a field near 31300 South 29th West Avenue, close to the Channel 8 studios and near her parents’ home. She had been stabbed five times; a hunting knife and sheath believed to be the murder weapon were recovered near the scene.

Despite the weapon and reports of the man seen with her, no arrests have been made. The homicide remains open and is now handled by the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Task Force. If anyone knew Lisa, saw her the night of September 24, 1984, or remembers a man leaving the bar with her, please come forward with information.
