William Hellings was 25 when he was killed in Tulsa on April 24, 1982. He had moved from New Jersey about a year earlier. That night he was at an apartment at 6701 South Lewis Avenue leased to 24-year-old Priscilla Henshall. Sometime before dawn both Henshall and Hellings were shot multiple times and found dead together in the bathroom with the shower still running; a neighbor reporting red-tinged water leaking from the ceiling led officers to force entry and discover the bodies.

Both victims died of multiple gunshot wounds. The running shower and the confined scene prompted speculation that it might have been used to muffle gunfire or remove evidence, but no one was ever arrested or charged. The investigation broadened beyond the immediate neighborhood because Hellings had come from New Jersey, yet the killings became a cold case and remain officially unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Hellings, Henshall, their movements in Tulsa, or contacts from New Jersey who might help explain why they were targeted?
