Arthur Porter Daniel was 20 when he was found fatally shot in Ardmore, Oklahoma, on November 1, 1981. He had just finished a shift at Burger N' Fries and was driving home in a van he had borrowed from a friend when a patrol officer discovered the vehicle parked oddly in the middle of the road with the driver’s side door open. Daniel was found nearby with a gunshot wound to the head that entered through his right eye; he was alive when found but died en route to the hospital.

Friends insisted Daniel kept to himself and was not involved in illicit activity, and the borrowed van led investigators to consider whether he was the wrong person targeted. Neighbors reported hearing a gunshot that night and one resident said they saw someone running from the area, but no usable description emerged. Investigators developed a composite from a tip about someone overheard in a bar, but that lead went cold. No arrests have been announced and no suspects named.

Does anyone in Ardmore remember that night or have information about the van Daniel was driving?
