This week, Tiff brings us one of the kookiest cases your favorite cousins have eve dived into…the unsolved case of Roberta “Bobby” Lynn Daniel. Born in 1952, in Kansas, but living virtually all of her life here in Oklahoma, Bobby is remembered as a happy and talented child, who not only thrived in the dance studio, but also on the back of a horse. Bobby spent most of her childhood in Buffalo, moved to Woodward, where she graduated, and ended up in Watonga. And though her first marriage didn’t work out, she seemed to have found her love match in her second marriage in 1985.
On January 2, 1988, a seemingly ordinary day took a horrific turn when Bobby was found brutally attacked in her home, leading to a complex investigation. Initial evidence suggested a robbery gone wrong, but inconsistencies raised suspicions about none other than Bobby’s own husband’s involvement…Terry Daniel. Despite the discovery of life insurance policies taken out shortly before Bobby's death, Terry was acquitted of murder charges in 2000 after a lengthy trial marked by missing evidence and investigative errors. As of now, the case remains unsolved, with no one held accountable for Bobby's brutal death.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and Blaine County Sheriff’s Department continue to seek information from the public regarding this cold case.
