Marie Hope Rosenbaum was 16 and a runaway from the Tecumseh Correctional Home for girls when she was last seen in the early hours of April 23, 1975. A friend dropped her at the Safeway Store at 300 S. Lewis around 1:30 AM; she intended to buy groceries and walk home but never arrived.

On April 24, a body found near 5600 Old Sapulpa Road was identified as Marie Rosenbaum. She had been stabbed multiple times. Her killing was noted to be strikingly similar to the murder of Geraldine Martin a few months earlier. Investigators later identified long-haul truck driver Clyde Carl Wilkerson as a prime suspect; Wilkerson was definitively linked to and convicted for Geraldine Martin’s murder in 2002. Wilkerson was never formally charged in Rosenbaum’s death and Marie’s murder remains officially unsolved.

Did anyone in Tulsa at the time see Marie leaving the Safeway or remember her route that night?
