Summary
In 1988, 25 year-old single mother of two, Mary Morgan Pewitt of Comanche, Oklahoma was in the process of building a new life for her and her daughters, Kira and Amber. She had been divorced twice, and was on her way to a third divorce. She was determined to get ahead for her daughters. But when she lost her job as a nurse in a nursing home due to an injury, Mary took a job as a server at Harold’s Club- the only bar in Commanche at the time. On the night of June 3rd, 1988, just her 13th day on the job, Mary worked closing shift, so Kira and Amber stayed the night with Mary's mom, Elizabeth. Early the next morning, Elizabeth dropped the girls off at their home and expected to find Mary there to greet them. When she didn't answer, Amber climbed up to look thru her mom's bedroom window, and caught sight of something awful. Mary was lying lifeless on her bed covered in blood. She had been stabbed more than 2 dozen times.
In what seemed like a crime of passion, police attention turned to the men in Mary's life; her 3 ex husbands, and her current boyfriend. With changing stories, and a history of friction, the police had their work cut out for them trying to figure out who murdered Mary Morgan Pewitt. After more than 3 decades, the case remains unsolved.
Mary's oldest daughter Kira discusses her mom's tragic murder, and how losing her affected her family.
If you have any knowledge about the murder of Mary Morgan Pewitt, you are encouraged to contact the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation by calling them at 800-522-8017. You can also email them at [email protected]. You can remain anonymous.
