On November 15, 2018, firefighters responding to a blaze at a rural Claremore, Oklahoma property found a burned body inside a trailer. The remains were later identified as 60-year-old Ricky Swan, who was living in the trailer. The scene suggested a violent death, and the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation took the lead.

Investigators focused on Swan’s 32-year-old stepson, Kevin Foster. Evidence presented in the case says Foster drove to the property that morning, entered the trailer and shot Swan multiple times, then doused the body with an accelerant and set the trailer on fire. A deer camera on the property reportedly captured images of Foster carrying what appeared to be a firearm and a gasoline can that morning, and a loop-motion image on Foster’s phone allegedly showed Swan’s burning body. Foster was arrested at his Bixby, Oklahoma home and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree arson and desecration of a human corpse.

The jury rejected Foster’s claim of self-defense and found him guilty on all charges; he was sentenced to life without parole on the anniversary of the killing. If anyone knew Ricky Swan, his routines, or has information about the events of November 15, 2018, please share what is known.
