Roxy Lynn Gast Murison, also recorded as Roxanne Lynn Ruddell and Roxanne Lynn Gastman Murison Tromm Ruddell, was a 37-year-old woman living in Oklahoma City who was shot to death while fishing at Lake Stanley Draper on the evening of September 3, 1994. She had gone to the lake off-duty with fishing gear and was found the next day slumped at the base of a tree where she had been forced to sit after two men bound her, robbed her of a small amount of cash and stole her pickup truck.

Investigators tied the killing to an interstate crime spree. Lewis Eugene Gilbert II and a 16-year-old accomplice, Eric Alvin Elliot, were passing through in a vehicle stolen from an elderly Missouri couple who had been murdered; both men fled the scene in Roxy’s truck. The pair were captured within days in New Mexico and Roxy’s pickup was recovered nearby. Gilbert was tried and convicted in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, of first-degree malice aforethought murder, kidnapping and robbery with firearms; a jury recommended death and the judge imposed that sentence. Elliot later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received life without parole.

Roxy was remembered by family and friends for raising horses, loving the outdoors and working as a security guard while married to truck driver Eddie D. Ruddell. Does anyone have memories of Roxy or information about her time at Lake Stanley Draper?
