On March 12, 1978, the body of David Junior Pethel was found at his home, 5928 W. 8th Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His wife and her sister discovered the scene after the wife had last seen David alive on March 11. Investigators determined he died of multiple stab wounds, the result of an attack by one or more unknown assailants.

The Tulsa Police Department opened a homicide investigation and detectives worked the case, but no arrests were announced and the investigation eventually went cold. Friends, neighbors and family were left without answers about who killed David or the motive for the violence.

If anyone remembers David, his routines, acquaintances, or anything unusual around that address in March 1978, please share information that might help finally resolve this case.
