''TULSA, Ok — Suzanne Oakley loved coming to Riverside for her morning run. It was a place of peace and comfort for her, but that all changed one morning in August 1975 when a friend discovered her body between the river and the jogging trail she loved so much.''

''Tulsa police say Oakley had been beaten, stabbed and sexually assaulted. The news hit like a ton of bricks for Jean, but she says one thing Sgt. Huff said brought her a small amount of comfort.

"I think they took a tire jack and hit her in the back of the head and so he told me she was knocked out cold and he said a lot of times victims have stuff underneath their fingernails trying to fight or their hands are clinched and he said that she was just so relaxed and he said she never really knew what happened," Winfrey said.''
