A 38-year-old Tulsa woman was beaten to death in her bedroom Wednesday while a 3-year-old child she was babysitting slept on a sofa, police said.

Candice Woodward, 38, was found dead in her home about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Lt. Don Vickers said.

Vickers said detectives have no reason to believe there is any connection between the slaying and the beating death of another woman in her home five days earlier. "There is always the possibility, but we have no evidence to prove the deaths are related in any way," Vickers said.

Not related? No connection? Hmmm...let's see...same house...same MO...only 5 days apart...nope...I see nothing related there. :facepalm:

I can't believe that they think they are unrelated. Like beating people to death is so common. That doesn't make any sense.

I misread that at first, too. The other woman was killed in her own home, not at Candyce's.

Candyce was at home with a neighbor's sick child.

"The child says there was a knock on the door or the doorbell ringing," said Eddie Majors, TPD cold case detective. "Candyce takes off running and screaming, the little girl says she is standing right beside her."

According to police, the little girl jumped on the couch and did not move all day after that until Candyce's husband came home.

The fact she took off running and screaming and left the little child at the door to fend for herself tells me she knew the person and was terribly afraid of him.

The husband was having an affair with another woman for years before Candyce's murder. Then he married the woman he was having the affair within 6 months after her murder. The husband was also in the construction business.
