On the evening of April 4, 2017, 54-year-old Katherine Bryant was found dead in the garage of her Edmond, Oklahoma home. Her husband discovered her and called 911, reporting that his son had killed his wife. Officers located Katherine in the garage; cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators quickly focused on the family’s 17-year-old stepson, Joshua Bryant. Joshua reportedly said he struck Katherine with a baseball bat, dragged her into the garage, then shot her with a rifle, pausing several minutes after the initial blow before deciding to shoot. He was arrested and charged with murder as an adult.

Katherine’s family remembered her as a retired nurse who brought joy and a ready smile to those around her. Does anyone have information about Katherine or the events leading up to April 4, 2017?
