Sara Marie Frye was 29 when she was found dead in her Tecumseh, Oklahoma home on the evening of September 13, 2024, with a fatal gunshot wound to her face. Responding officers found the house on East Beech Street in disarray — a broken kitchen table and other signs of a struggle — evidence described as inconsistent with an initial claim by her husband, 31-year-old Bradley Frye, that she had taken her own life. Investigators also noted petroleum jelly packed into the wound, a detail that further contradicted the suicide account.

Bradley’s story shifted from witnessing an apparent suicide to saying a shotgun accidentally discharged during an argument. Sara’s journal and family statements indicate she planned to leave him because of mistreatment, and their children had been removed from the home for their safety. Based on the scene and his inconsistent statements, Bradley Frye was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and is being held at the Pottawatomie County Jail without bond.

Did anyone in the Tecumseh area know Sara or have information about the family’s situation before September 13, 2024?
