On June 22, 1978, Melvin Lorenz, his wife, Linda, and son, Richard,
were killed near Purcell, Oklahoma. Twenty-four days later, on July
16, six employees of a Sirloin Stockade Restaurant in southwest
Oklahoma City were herded into a freezer and shot to death.
Hundreds of law enforcement members worked for eight months to
track down the killers. In October and November 1979, Roger Dale
Stafford was convicted of first degree murder of nine people.
However, he was not executed until 1995. This murder story coming
from the heart of Oklahoma deserves to be told. It includes the
behind-the-scenes perspective of law enforcement officers involved.
Eighty-one-year-old Jean Stover has wanted to tell this story ever
since she first heard her nephew speak about the murders in the
late 1970s. "His description of the events and the search for the
killers intrigued me and I kept thinking about writing a book to
let others know about the struggles to find and convict the
killers." A retired teacher, she lives in Oklahoma City.
