Oklahoma City police say robbery suspect linked to 4 murders
"OKLAHOMA CITY – A man suspected in nearly a dozen armed robberies is now facing murder charges in connection to four deaths in Oklahoma, including two people who investigators initially thought died in a traffic accident, Oklahoma City police said Friday.
Mario Normore, 27, has been jailed for almost a year on 10 counts of robbery with a firearm involving several businesses and two banks, according to court records. On Friday, police announced that prosecutors have agreed with a police recommendation that Normore also be charged with four counts of murder....
Morgan said the cases include the July 2017 deaths of Bashar Burks, 27, and his girlfriend, Ashley Easton, 30. Police said Normore worked with Burks, whose body was found inside a burning vehicle that had been involved in a crash. At the time, police said his body showed signs of trauma that occurred prior to the crash. Easton's body also showed signs of trauma when it was discovered later in a nearby ditch....
Morgan said Normore is also suspected in the deaths of 21-year-old Searra Howe, who had been missing since August 2017 before her body was discovered in a field in October, and 58-year-old James Steven Knowles, who has been missing since October and is presumed dead...."

He is accused of killing Bashar Burks, 27, and Ashley Easton, 30, in July 2017, Searra Howe, 21, in August 2017 and James Knowles, 57, in October 2017. The body of the last victim has not been found, police said.
And there is a separate thread for Bashar & Ashley:
OK - Bashar Burks, 27, & Ashley Easton, 30, slain, Oklahoma City, 10 July 2017
Don't know "how" this will be treated since we have 2 separate threads. One for trial?? I haven't found a thread for James Knowles though.

OSCN - Oklahoma State Courts NetworkBumping up - wondering if anyone has a link to the Oklahoma County court site? If so, could you post & I'll see if I can get in?
TIA!
Searching for Mario Normore, this case number seems to be the one with the recent murder charges: CF-2018-4729. I'm not good at reading court records but I think it shows 10/15/18 bond was denied, PHC scheduled for 10/30/18 at 9am with Judge Savage then reassigned to Judge Grave.

Hi Whiskers! Okay - I will send you a reminder a few days after the court hearings when they are scheduled! Thank you!
When you get to the appropriate court site - you can sometimes copy/paste the information onto a reply box. Like you did above in post 22 - with court date!
Thanks again for your help here!
