Authorities try to identify skull found by kids near Canadian River

The Associated Press Published: March 18, 2009

BETHANY, Okla. (AP) — Authorities are trying to identify a person whose skull was found by children playing along the Canadian River.

The children told authorities they found the skull near the Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge about 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. After seeing the skull, the children ran to their mother, who called police.

Authorities say it's likely the skull had been in the location for several years. They're trying to determine the exact location where it was found, to help them possibly connect the skull to any cases or find other remains that go with it.

Oklahoma City Police Seek Public Help Identifying Human Remains

Posted: Mar 24, 2010 11:42 AM EDTUpdated: Mar 24, 2010 6:05 PM EDT

News9.com

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City Police Homicide investigators have released a photo in a case from 2009.

Officers received a call of a found human skull at the Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge, just north of Lake Overholser, approximately one year ago. The skull had washed up in a riverbed, and was found by children playing in the area.

Investigators believe that the skull belongs to a white female, who was 20-45 years of age at the time of her death. The skull was possibly in this area for 1-20 years before discovery.


Police are asking the public to help identify a rendering of the female's face.

If anyone recognizes this female, or has any information on this case, they should call the Homicide Tip Line at 405-297-1200.

Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge
Canadian & Oklahoma Counties


From the 1986 edition of A Guide to Birding in Oklahoma published by the Tulsa Audubon Society, and partially updated in 2007.

This marshland and the adjoining heavily wooded swamp along the North Canadian River for a little over 2 miles have been designated as a wildlife refuge. It is available for hikers and at times by permit for entry by cars along paralleling dirt roads. Check at the Ranger Station on the east side of the lake. The refuge lies just north of Lake Overholser, north of US 66-US 270.

The primary ways to enjoy the refuge are by foot, mountain bike and boat. Several trails suitable for hiking run through the refuge linking four small lakes to the river. Entrances to the trails are from NW 50th on the east side of the refuge and County Line and Morgan Roads on the west side.

Nesting Prothonotary Warblers and Wood Ducks are found in the several ponds along the river roads. Indigo Buntings, American Goldfinches, smaller woodpeckers, and Carolina Wrens are among the small birds present. Late summer concentrations of Double-crested Cormorants may number in the hundreds. Mississippi Kites, Swainson's and Red-tailed hawks use the area as well as Great Horned, Barred, and Screech-Owls. When water levels are low, wading birds including White-faced Ibis and rarely such southern visitors as the White Ibis, Roseate Spoonbill, and Olivaceous Cormorant are seen. During the periods of migration warblers, kinglets, and smaller flycatchers are abundant. Fall weather brings the wintering sparrows, Song, Swamp, Lincoln's, White-throated, White-crowned, Harris's and Fox

Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge is managed by the Oklahoma City Water Trust. The four 'lakes' on the refuge serve as sedimentation basins for the NW Oklahoma City water system. Water from the North Canadian River (which becomes the Oklahoma River as it flows through downtown Oklahoma City) is backed up from Lake Overholser (just to the South) into the refuge, where the sediment drops out prior to diverting it to storage in Lake Hefner (to the NW).

Prairie Dog Colony

Before leaving this area, a stop at the Prairie Dog Town is worthwhile. It is located on the southside of NW 36 St. between Sara Road and Mustang Road. The prairie dogs are on the hillside south of the road. Burrowing Owls have nested there successfully in previous years and despite housing development, may try again. During fall and winter several hawks, including the rare Ferruginous Hawk, watch the colony for a chance meal.
