Rebecca Susan Becky Robinson, 42, was murdered on February 22, 2003, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She and her ex-husband, Fred Barney, were killed after a man named James Lynn Kidwell, whom Rebecca had met online, accompanied the couple to a bar and later returned to their home with them. Kidwell then killed both Rebecca and Fred and set the house on fire.
A passerby, Kenneth Maxwell, spotted the blaze and called 911. Kidwell approached Maxwell’s vehicle and killed him, becoming a third victim in the same incident. Investigators recovered Kidwell’s DNA, including saliva on Rebecca’s body, and determined a computer had been taken from the Barney residence; that and witness testimony tied Kidwell to the crime. Kidwell was arrested, charged with three counts of first-degree murder, and held at the Sequoyah County jail.
If anyone knew Rebecca, Fred, or Kenneth, or has information about their deaths or the events of February 22, 2003, please come forward.
