West Des Moines police say they are no closer today to solving the mysterious slaying of Ashley Okland, a 27-year-old real estate agent whose shooting death four years ago in a model townhouse made national news. Police Sgt. Brent Kock said the case is still considered an active investigation, and the department continues to follow up on leads from citizens and the crime tip line. But police have received few leads since The Des Moines Register reported in April 2014 that detectives had followed up on 781 leads and interviewed about 400 people....
In October 2014, West Des Moines police thought a man being investigated in Arkansas for killing a real estate agent near Little Rock might be connected to Oklands slaying. But Kock said Arron Michael Lewis, 33, of Jacksonville, Arkansas, is no longer considered a possible suspect.
