Gerald Hail, 70, of Inola, Oklahoma, was found dead inside a Tulsa motel room on January 21, 2015, after a Silver Alert had been issued for him out of Rogers County. A maid discovered his body, and investigators determined he had been the victim of a homicide.

Motel surveillance showed Hail with another man identified as 26-year-old Mathew Hannah. Hail’s pickup truck was missing from the motel and was later located abandoned behind a church at the intersection of Latimer and Sheridan in Tulsa. Tulsa Police Homicide Detectives tracked Hannah down in north Tulsa that same day and arrested him; reports say Hannah confessed to shooting and killing Hail.

Anyone who knew Gerald, saw him in Tulsa in mid-January 2015, or has information about his movements or the motel encounter is asked to come forward.
