A welfare check in January 2023 at a Dewey, Oklahoma home revealed that Deborah Dutton, 67, and her husband Larry had been killed weeks earlier on December 19, 2022. Deputies reported a heavy odor of cleaning supplies and bleach at the house and signs of a violent struggle, including blood seeping through baseboards in the master bedroom and evidence of a hasty cleanup. A Ring camera captured two people dragging a body wrapped in a sheet out of the house; the couple’s adopted daughter and biological granddaughter, 17-year-old Heidi Dutton, and her 20-year-old boyfriend, Lucas Anthony Walker, were present at the residence and were arrested.

According to investigators and statements attributed to the suspects, Heidi told Walker she wanted Deborah and Larry dead. Walker allegedly retrieved a .22 caliber handgun from the garage, shot Deborah when she opened the bedroom door, then slit her throat; Larry confronted Walker after the gun jammed and was stabbed repeatedly. The two then attempted to clean the scene and later buried the bodies in a shallow grave in the backyard. Reports say the pair used the Duttons’ money in the interval before arrest.

Does anyone have information about Deborah’s life in Dewey or observed activity at the Dutton residence around mid-December 2022?
