Danny Oakley and Doris Harris

Citizen Detective

Episode 28 Danny Oakley and Doris Harris
We kick off our partnership with Delaware County, Oklahoma in examining some of their cold & unsolved cases, with the February 1996 murders of Danny Oakley and Doris Harris.
On the morning of February 21st, 1996,firefighters responded to a housefire in Afton, Oklahoma. Inside one of the bedrooms responders found the bodies of Danny Oakley and Doris Harris. Both victims had been shot once in the head.
Investigators spoke to many witnesses who reported that Danny was in fear of being arrested or killed in the days before his death. Danny was reported to be a major drug dealer in the area. One theory was that the couple was killed because of drug money owed to a supplier. Another theory was that they were murdered because of a feud between Danny and a different man.
The day after the killings, a man was found passed out behind the wheel of one of the victim’s vehicles eighteen miles away. The man was arrested on other charges and questioned about the murders. Questioning led police to another man who reportedly spent the day before with the victims. As each witness told their tale, police quickly realized they had a long list of potential suspects in the case, yet to date, the case remains unsolved, and the families of Danny Oakley and Doris Harris are still awaiting justice.
Out guests in this episode include Stephanie Bishop; prosecutor and director of the Delaware County Cold Case Unit, and Journalist Sheila Stogsdill who has covered this case extensively.
