OK OK - Mary 'Katherine' Fields, 31, Tahlequah, 23 Dec 1986

[LSM]

Mary Katherine Fields was the ex-wife of Randolph Dial.
She was killed in 1986 while he was in prison. She lived in Tahleqhah,
OK. I can't find any mention of her in cold cases, has it just been forgotten
after all these years?

Any links about the murder?

I can't find anything in google on that name. Randolph Dial was a convicted murderer who escape from prison.

Didn't Dial excape with a guard's wife and it never was explain all the way if she went with him in good will or he forced her into going ..

I think Unsloved Mystery's covered this case on TV ... They was caught I think so been few years ago though I could be wrong..

He left with Bobbie Parker.

As to her willingness to go with him - you definitely have two camps - one pro Bobbie that think she's a victim... and the other camp who believes she went with him and stayed with him for years.

Here is a link I found about Randolph Dial. It mentions Mary Katherine being
mysteriously murdered in 1986. I am just curious about the case because MK's mother several years ago and she told me about it and how it had never been solved.

I lived in Tahlequah at the time but none of the names mentioned in this book ring a bell, except for the LE officers:

It boggles me that this all happened so close by and I was completely oblivious to it.

Anyway, interesting read, a number of potential suspects.
