doesnt it say he escaped somewhere in there? maybe he did kill her.
And on April 23, 1979, an ex-convict accused of double murder named Charles Troy Coleman crawled to freedom through a hole in the roof over the jail's visiting area... Coleman had reason to want out of jail. He was being held on first-degree murder charges in the shooting deaths of a rural Muskogee couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Seward, who had interrupted his burglary of a home.
Within hours of his escape, Coleman had made his way to Tulsa where he killed a visiting Missouri man, Russell E. Lewis, and stole Lewis's car. His path then led to the Oklahoma City area where he slit the throat of Luther police officer Tommy Dotson and left Dotson to die in the back seat of his patrol car. The officer survived.
Coleman's crime spree ended five days later with his arrest in Arizona. He had a kidnapped lawman with him when he surrendered.
Was that woman ever even reported missing? I am glad the person has been identified, but sad that it seems no one was looking for her.
Hello amberkay
That struck me as odd too. I even wonder if she has any family left? Or even friends who had been looking for her throughout the years?
Have a nice day!

I am glad they identified her. Maybe when her father was murdered, the family thought she was involved in some way. Or maybe her father was the only close relative she had and a reason she ended up with CTC.
I also noticed how far off the sculpture and sketch are from her in reality. Disappointing.
Chennault said Coleman never was reported missing, making it difficult to ascertain her identity and examine her past. He expects that will change now that Coleman, who would have turned 58 on Feb. 1, has been identified.
“I have been all over Muskogee during the last two days trying to find someone who knows her,” Chennault said about efforts to solve this murder. “If anyone knew her, we would love to hear from them.”
Here is an interesting tidbit I found reading through his appeal:Good point on why her family may not have been looking for her very hard. I think it would still be hard to not wonder where she was!
I also agree that the sketch and picture aren't close. Could that be because she was in the water so long? I don't care if that guy was on death row, I think he was involved in her death somehow!

gayeld, I actually understand that more than I would like to.
I am glad she was identified after all these years and I hope her killer can be found.
Almost 30 years after a grisly discovery in a northeast Oklahoma river, a murder suspect has been arrested.
James Ray Vogel, 55, of Muskogee, is accused in an indictment in the 1988 death of Jeanette Ellen Coleman.
Grand jurors allege he acted "in concert" with another man from the Muskogee area, James West, to cause Coleman's death. West has not been charged.
"The investigation is ongoing," prosecutor Jack Thorp said Thursday.
Citing a scheduling conflict, defense attorney Donn F. Baker filed a motion for continuance in a Dec. 20 preliminary hearing for a Muskogee man accused of murdering a woman known as "Daisy Doe."
James Ray Vogel, 55, was arrested in August for killing a woman whose body was discovered below the Fort Gibson Dam in 1988.
The preliminary hearing has been postponed until 1 p.m. on Jan. 29.
So absolutely horrific that there could be 2 (or 3 in this story) like-minded men who would collude to rape, beat and actually tie a cement block around a woman and throw her in the water. Who does these things and lives with themselves. Could have been me...leaving a bar, young and stupid with two maniacs! How very quickly and terrifying that a life can be taken and discarded.

The preliminary hearing for a man accused of the 1988 murder of a Muskogee woman has been postponed until May.
James Ray Vogel was scheduled to go before Assistant District Judge Mark Dobbins Monday morning.
However, with Vogel's attorney scheduled to be in Adair County District Court at the same time and with both the defense and the District Attorney's Office still awaiting grand jury transcripts, a continuance has been granted until 9 a.m. on May 2.
