Missing Woman Was Last Seen With Her Boyfriend Who Is Accused Of Murdering Two Other Women

UPDATE: Police Identify Body Found In Shallow Grave As Tyra Whitaker In Oklahoma

Tulsa Police Department has announced that they are trying to find 24-year-old Tyra Whitaker who is missing and endangered from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Whitaker was last seen on January 19th, 2022, getting into a Chevy pickup truck with her boyfriend, Terryl Brooks.

Brooks has since been arrested and charged in the murders of two other women, Elizabeth Dillard and Star Rainbow Dancer.

Whitaker has not been in contact with friends or family since she was last seen. Whitaker’s family reported her missing in February.

Anyone with information about Tyra Whitaker is asked to call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS. You can remain anonymous when calling.

Lieutenant Brandon Watkins said on March 25th police found 27-year-old Elizabeth Dillard shot and killed on her front porch. He says Brooks had dated her.

On April 3rd, police found 69-year-old Star Rainbow Dancer dead inside of her apartment, but Watkins says they believe she had been dead for several days. He says Brooks had been staying with her for a few days.

“There were a number of things that were kind of matching up, and later we looked at the evidence and realized yea the same person did both of these killings,” he said.

Watkins says an Oklahoma Highway Trooper spotted Brooks’ truck early Tuesday morning and he was taken into custody.

He says Brooks had just met the second victim days before she was killed.

“It’s one of those things, you’re just worried, someone takes someone in out of the kindness of their heart and ends up paying the ultimate price for it,” he said.

Watkins fears Brooks had the potential to become a serial killer.

“Thankfully he was stopped before he reached that designation,” he said.
