Rep. Carl Newton, R-Cherokee, recently recognized the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Cold Case Team for its work to help resolve and bring closure to 98 cases since its creation in November 2018. Recognition took place in the Oklahoma House of Representatives’ Chambers during daily session.
Members of the Cold Case Team recognized included Agents Tammy Ferrari, Dale Fine, Josh Patzkowski, Jim Skelton and Francia Thompson, and Criminalists Wendy Duke and Lesley Perry.
“This team consists of a small number of talented, dedicated and tenacious professionals that are resolute and persistent about solving these cases,” Newton said. “This work not only brings resolution for the Oklahoma families impacted by unsolved murders or when a loved one goes missing. It improves public safety of all Oklahomans.”
