Ep 98 Bobbie Lynn Wofford

One of Oklahoma’s favorite pastimes is spending those hot, summer days at any of our beautiful Oklahoma lakes. Pair that with holiday weekend, and you got yourself summer time gold! The July 4th weekend in 1999 had the markings of just that. However, at some point during that weekend, 14-year-old Bobbie Wofford left  her friends to hang out with a newer, rougher crowd…never to be seen alive again. Witnesses placed her talking to a man at a gas station.  She may have also been seen at a local bar. On Nov. 4, 1999, her decomposing body was found in the woods. 

This week, Jess will walk us through the timeline of events; those last seen moments; the witness testimony; and the confession from serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells. The evidence linking him to the case though is shaky, and Bobbie's death remains unsolved. Her picture and story appears in a set of cold cases card decks. But that is exactly where the case stands…cold.  A $5,000 reward is offered, and kookily enough, the FBI profile of the killer has never been publicly released.

This tale is twisty and turny…and may be a bit mature for some listeners…listener discretion is advised. 

Special thanks to listener Megan Pope Whitehead for recommending this case!!
