On the morning of January 20, 2014, Uwe Rushing, 49, was found shot to death inside his home in Lawton, Oklahoma. His 13-year-old son Stefan Rushing was also found fatally shot. The initial report came from Uwe’s older son, 18-year-old Thorsten Rushing, who said two intruders had broken in and killed them before he chased them off.

Investigators soon questioned Thorsten’s account after changes in his description of the assailants and crime-scene evidence that did not match his story. Police shifted their focus to Thorsten, and the probe uncovered a plot linked to a life insurance policy. Within days authorities arrested Thorsten and four other teenagers — including 19-year-olds Ethan Thompson and Cody Davis, 18-year-old Timothy Delahoy, and one juvenile — who were accused of roles ranging from planning to assisting during and after the killings.

In June 2016 a jury found Thorsten guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder; his co-defendants later pleaded guilty and received prison terms for their parts in the double homicide. Does anyone have information about Uwe or Stefan’s life in Lawton, or about the events leading up to January 20, 2014?
