Nicholas Rutherford was 25 when he was shot to death on April 26, 2015, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. His body and that of 19-year-old Abby Seals were found inside an apartment near a local gentleman’s club; both victims had been fatally shot and the apartment was discovered by Seals’ boyfriend after he returned from a trip.

The Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office identified a primary suspect in the double homicide and arrested 24-year-old Eleno Maldonado Jr. on May 28, 2015. Maldonado was charged with two counts of first-degree murder; investigators gathered evidence and conducted interviews that pointed to his involvement. Prosecutors said the killings stemmed from a dispute over money or drugs and that Seals was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Maldonado was convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison. If anyone knew Nicholas Rutherford, Abby Seals, or has information about what happened at that apartment, please share what you know.
