Ethan James Walton was found dead handcuffed and bound in a gallon drum.News9.com

PRAGUE, Oklahoma -- Pottawatomie County Sheriff's deputies arrested a brother and sister accused of murdering a man and kidnapping a woman near Prague Wednesday night.

Deputies said the victims had gone to look at property for sale when they encountered 39-year-old Glendon Gouker and his 29-year-old sister, Michele Gouker.

Investigators aren't revealing too many details but said they believe the man was murdered and his 20-year-old companion abducted. The woman told investigators she managed to escape after being sexually assaulted for hours and called authorities for help.

"Between 7:30 and 8:00 last night, 911 center received a call from a resident that they had had a young woman run up to their house nude screaming that she had been kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and thought her boyfriend was dead," said J.T.Palmer, Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office.

Based on what the woman told them, investigators got a search warrant to search the Gauker's firewood business about a mile away. They made a grisly find.

"We found a 19-year-old male in a sealed 55 gallon drum with his feet taped and handcuffs on. Preliminary reports is he died of blunt trauma to the head," Palmer said.

New thread on the Prague murder and Goukers here in the crime discussion forum. Let's try not to fill up the Jamison thread until we know there is a connection. If anyone knows how to bring relevant posts over please do. TIA!

Mother of Pottawatomie Murder Suspect Says Son Acted in Self-Defense

PRAGUE, Oklahoma -- The mother of a man accused of murdering and stuffing another man into a container is speaking out for her son, saying his actions were in self-defense.

Investigators found Walker after a nude woman ran to a nearby home for help saying she was sexually assaulted and her boyfriend had been murdered.

Deputies arrested 39-year-old Glendon Gouker and his sister, Michelle, for the crimes. Authorities said Walker had been trying to sell Gouker a piece of property.

"It was done yesterday morning. The family knew that Ethan had agreed to a price Glendon offered him and paperwork was done and signed yesterday morning," said Penny Veitenheime, Glendon Gouker's mother.

Veitenheime said she spoke to her son several times Wednesday and everything sounded fine, until Thursday morning.

See the comments section of this article which indicates Glendon and Michelle are "step" brother and sister. Same father but Penny V. is Glendon's mother and Jo Nell G. is Michelle's mother.

Brought over from the Jamison discussion:

A brother and sister have been arrested in Prague, Oklahoma, for kidnapping and murdering a couple who was out looking at property. Prague is about 125 miles (a couple of hours) from where the Jamisons vanished:

" Pottawatomie County Sheriff's deputies arrested a brother and sister accused of murdering a man and kidnapping a woman near Prague Wednesday night.

Deputies said the victims had gone to look at property for sale when they encountered 39-year-old Glendon Gouker and his 29-year-old sister, Michele."



I hope the police are looking at them carefully.

On the Oklahoma District Courts site, http://www.odcr.com, it shows a Glendon Gouker as failing to register as a sex offender, among other things. Don't know if it is the same Glendon Gouker (but how many can there be?).

A look at Intelius shows a Glendon Gouker age 39 who has lived in both OK and WI. In WI he was found guilty of Sex with Child Age 16 or Older, according to http://wcca.wicourts.gov

It looks like Glen and Michelle's father who founded the wood business died in March of 2009. I have listed both his obituary and a nice article about the business.

More from Jamison thread:

And they did all this with Michelle Goukers 4 y/o twins there? OMG...

Authorities arrested the Goukers at their home. A relative was called to retrieve Michele Gouker's 4-year-old twins, Palmer said.

Glendon Gouker was charged in Seminole County in 2001 with failing to register as a sex offender. The charge was dropped when he registered, court records show.

How awful. You can't even look at or sell property without getting sexually assaulted and murdered and stuck in a barrell.

O/T They're not "step" siblings. They share a parent. Of course the terminology has nothing to do with the horrible crime, but that's a pet peeve of mine. That and "halves". They're only half siblings.

 

[Oriah]

Yeah, because tying someone up to a bed and raping them is ALWAYS self defense :banghead:...WTFE... This mother has A LOT of issues that need to be worked out... Wonder if anyone could supply her with the name of a good psychologist?

No sheet. Well I suppose that if you're busy doing that then no chance you'd be busy committing some other type of heinous crime. Right. (?)

Seriously, I need a break from the lack of humanity and stupidity in this world. Make it stop.

 

[Soulmagent]

I thought it was a great idea for its own thread. The first page is hard to follow.

I did find out the glen is supposed to be on seminole county sex offender list.


On the guest pages on this address it shows a lubbock texas post.

I took a screen shot of the Flying G bussiness adress and you can see the trailer and lots of wood piles. The picture was bigger where it showed the neighors but I had to trim it to fit.

This is an old picture, the wood lot was moved to Glens address .

 

[wvconcern]

The picture is where the woodlot was founded and where the wife of Terry, Glens father lives. The business was moved abouta year ago to Glen and Michele house. I worked with their father on and of for 16 years, he was a good person and died of a heart attack while working. I have known the family for almost 20 years and Glen and Michele for all those years. I can't believe this, I hope the police can get to the bottom of this.

Thank you so much for this insight. I can't imagine what it's like to know people for that long and then being hit w/ this news. I hope as more information comes to light we can learn why/how things like this happen. It's always so helpful when someone can verify or confirm questions 'we' might have. Was glen around while you worked, did he also work there also?

 

[LadyL]

I'm confused. I was reading this thread yesterday & came back to it today. What do the Jamieson's have to do with it and is there another thread going on where things were moved to?
