Tara Barnett-Underwood, 35, was shot and killed while working as an office administrator at LaFerry’s Propane on U.S. 64 in Gans, Oklahoma, on June 18, 2024. Her fiancé, Robert Bullock, found her and a coworker, Taylor Sharp, dead after peering through a window and breaking down the locked door when he could not reach her. Tara’s vehicle was missing from the business when the scene was discovered.

Authorities identified Stacy Lee Drake as the suspect, alleging he killed the two employees to steal a vehicle and continue a multi-state crime spree that included other killings. Surveillance reportedly placed Drake in Morrilton, Arkansas, shortly after the Gans shootings. He was captured June 20, 2024, hiding in a wooded area in Morrilton and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a stolen vehicle; prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Tara is described by family as vibrant and full of life and is survived by three children who are now without their mother. If anyone has information about Tara’s movements that day or her time at the workplace, please share what you know.
