A deadly case from Dewey, Oklahoma: 73-year-old Larry Dutton and his wife Deborah were found buried in a shallow grave in their backyard after deputies performed a welfare check in January 2023. Deputies entered the home after friends and family could not reach the couple and reported a strong odor of bleach and cleaning supplies. Bloodstains were observed in the master bedroom, including seepage through the floorboards.

Autopsy results show Larry Dutton died from multiple stab wounds to his face, chest, and stomach. Investigators identified two people who had been living in the house: 17-year-old adopted granddaughter Heidi Dutton and her 22-year-old boyfriend Lucas Anthony Walker. Both confessed. Walker said he took a pistol from the Duttons’ gun safe, shot Deborah Dutton, then slit her throat, and when the pistol jammed he used a knife to stab Larry. Ring camera footage reportedly shows the couple wrapping the bodies and dragging them to the backyard for burial, and they remained in the home afterward while using the Duttons’ money.

Lucas Anthony Walker has pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and received a 35-year federal prison sentence. Heidi Dutton has been charged as an adult with two counts of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and two counts of desecrating a corpse. Does anyone have information about the Duttons, their home, or the people who lived there?
