In the early morning hours of November 11, 2017, firefighters in Ardmore, Oklahoma, found a car burning in the front yard of a residence. Inside the charred vehicle were the bodies of 23-year-old Karlie Clearman of Ardmore and 28-year-old Justin Ray Sullivan of Midwest City. Investigators determined both victims had been shot and that the car had been set on fire to conceal the crime.

Police identified Carlton Franklin, an inmate who had absconded from a halfway house in Oklahoma City, as the primary suspect. Authorities say Franklin and Sullivan left the halfway house without authorization the night of the killings, met up with Karlie, and that violence followed. A witness at a preliminary hearing testified to hearing gunshots after a confrontation between Karlie and Franklin and then seeing Karlie’s car on fire as an SUV left the scene.

Franklin was charged with two counts of first-degree murder; he later faced trial and was convicted. Does anyone have information about Karlie’s last known movements or the days leading up to November 11, 2017?
