Pamela Elaine Tollett was 31 when she was murdered in Tulsa in March 1979. She was last seen at her apartment at 1540 E. 14th Street on March 11 and reported missing on March 15 after friends and family could not contact her. On March 20 a man and his two sons found her body in an open field near 11400 E. Apache Street, a spot known for illegal trash dumping.

Pamela’s body was unclothed and tied to a tree. Investigators determined she had been sexually assaulted, tortured with a sharp object, and died of a gunshot wound to the head. The attack was described as brutal and appeared deeply personal. Tulsa Police Department cold case investigators have not made any arrests, and possible links to another homicide from that period have not produced official suspects.

Anyone with memories of Pamela, the neighborhood around 14th Street in March 1979, or information about activity near 11400 E. Apache Street is asked to come forward.
