Frederick Edward Mitchell, 33, was last seen in Edmond, Oklahoma, on September 5, 2020, in the company of another man, Phillip Smith. Mitchell was described as 5 feet 10 inches, about 150 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes, a short beard, eyeglasses and a tattoo on the right side of his chest. Phillip Smith’s car was found abandoned on September 7, 2020, with the hood up, a detail authorities say made a voluntary disappearance unlikely.

Investigators say the inquiry shifted toward a murder-for-hire theory allegedly ordered from prison by Phillip’s brother, Mikell Bulldog Smith, who was serving murder convictions. Informants pointed to motive tied to concerns about unhoused people being brought to the family home. Authorities identified a two-and-a-half-acre Logan County property known as the bully farm as a likely location where the men were lured and killed. Human bone fragments have since been recovered at three sites: the bully farm, a site about half a mile away, and an oil field lease road in another town; those remains are being examined and identified.

Does anyone have information about Frederick Mitchell’s last known movements, or about activity at the bully farm around early September 2020?
