Cold case heating up
Cold Case OKC is already producing results.
It’s been less than two weeks since the debut of the Web site, one of the latest ventures of The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com. Check it out at
www.newsok.com/news/coldcase.
Already, police have received “a couple” of tips in the unsolved slayings of Syrl and Christine Orbach, who were beaten and stabbed to death in their northwest Oklahoma City home about 25 years ago. Their case was featured on the site.
“We checked the tips out and thought we might be on to something,” said police Capt. Steve McCool, “but they didn’t work out.”
Even so, that’s a couple tips in a case that’s a quarter of a century old. That’s a couple tips police didn’t have before. And it’s a couple more chances police had to help the Orbachs find justice.
Maybe the next tip will be the one to crack the case.
This Sunday, you’ll have a chance to review another cold case. Hopefully, you hold the key to solving it.
About 40 years ago, Judith Elwell, 5, and Brenda White, 6, disappeared within a month of each other. The little girls didn’t know each other and lived on opposite ends of the metro, but they are eternally bound by tragedy — and they may have fallen victim to the same predator.
On Sunday, read the stories, check out documents from the actual police case file, view photographs, explore our archived coverage and follow a timeline of events. Watch a video that includes home movie footage of Brenda and commentary by veteran reporter John Greiner, who helped cover the case as it unfolded.
And if you think you can help, contact the police or e-mail us at

Florida officials have come up with an interesting way of trying to close some unsolved cases: They’re giving cold case playing cards to inmates around the state.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper, more than 100,000 decks — produced at a cost of about $80,000 – will be distributed. (There are apparently two different decks, as the total number of cards is 104, twice the number of cards in a standard deck.)
Each card bears a photograph and information about an unsolved homicide or missing persons case
