In early spring 1997 a week-long missing-person search ended with a grim discovery in a shed in Melrose, Kansas. On March 5, 1997 the bodies of 19-year-old Sarah Monique Palmer and 33-year-old Harmon Samuel Fenton, both from Commerce, Oklahoma, were found in the bed of Fenton’s pickup truck. Investigators concluded both had been shot to death in Ottawa County, Oklahoma and then moved across the state line to the shed where they were located.

Five years later two men — 25-year-old Brandon Lee Jones of Picher, Oklahoma, and 47-year-old Jimmy Neal Rather of Miami, Oklahoma — were arrested in connection with the double murder. Those arrests did not result in convictions: the murder charges against both men were later dropped, and the killings remain unresolved.

Does anyone have information about Sarah, Harmon, their movements in late February and early March 1997, or about the pickup truck that might help bring answers?
