Brooke Slocum was 18 and eight months pregnant when she was killed following a meeting arranged through a Craigslist ad. The encounter was set up with 31-year-old Brady Oestrike and began at Gezon Park on July 12, 2014. Four days later a headless body identified as her boyfriend, 25-year-old Charles Oppenneer, was found in the park; his head was never recovered.

Police investigating Oppenneer’s death traced email exchanges that linked Slocum to Oestrike. As officers prepared to execute a search warrant, Oestrike fled in his vehicle, crashed and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Slocum’s strangled body was recovered from the trunk. Investigators found evidence at Oestrike’s home indicating Slocum had been held and tortured for five days, plus a large cache of weapons, restraints and surveillance footage showing preparations to detain her.

Does anyone have information about Slocum’s movements in Wyoming in July 2014 or about the Craigslist contact that led to the meeting?
