Cory Jay Bodily, 31, disappeared from Norman, Oklahoma after leaving home on July 29, 2008 to pick up his paycheck from the Taco Bell where he worked. Family members described him as warm and kindhearted; he was reported missing in September 2008 after weeks without word.

On December 25, 2008 a dog in nearby Noble brought a human skull to a residence; the skull was identified as Cory’s and investigators later recovered the rest of his remains in a ravine. A medical examination determined blunt force trauma as the cause of death and the case became a homicide investigation that eventually went cold despite numerous leads.

Years later a witness implicated three people and investigators concluded the killing occurred during an attempted robbery in which Cory was shot in the leg and then beaten to death when he resisted. Two men pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and a woman pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact; each received prison sentences. Did anyone who knew Cory or who worked with him in 2008 see anything that might still help fill gaps in the timeline?
