The list of possible names has spanned several states, but is now narrowed to one. Ottawa County Undersheriff Fred Booth has received dental records from a prison in Missouri where the suspected victim was housed about ten years ago. Booth has taken those records to the medical examiner`s office in Tulsa where the man`s identity will either be confirmed or denied. We are awaiting the results of the dental records match and the official release of this victims name. Of course we`ll have those results for you as quickly as they become available.
