So, the car that was found, that might be linked to her disappearance, belongs to husband's ex who is also missing? Am I reading this right?

Correct, but AFAIK she isn't missing. I think some were thinking she was but nothing official.

Are the ex husband and his first ex - the car owner - still on good terms? Otherwise, how would he have the car?

Not sure tbh but I'm inclined to say yes. Also, I'm not sure if it's ever been reported that her ex had the car, just that it was of interest as part of LE's investigation.

Just now seeing this case and reading the thread for the first time. Haven't had a chance to research it but from what I've read so far I don't have a good feeling about this, especially if there are documented domestic issues and a PPOs against her husband.

I don't think this is related to Tamera - the Sheriff says he thinks it involved a narcotics deal - but I'm posting it anyway as it's just about an hour east of Haskell.

Three Bodies Found on Property in Cherokee County; Suspect in Custody (poncacitynow.com)
Lewis admitted to killing the woman, as well as two other individuals buried elsewhere on the property, investigators say. Cherokee County investigators found two other bodies, a man and a woman, on the property Saturday morning.

Sheriff Chennault said he believes this situation may have been a narcotics deal.

None of the bodies have been identified yet.

What are these about? Not viewable here - why a cut and paste of part of the text is always good - is it to do with this case?

Not particularly…
The investigator, Perry Proctor, is a former Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation cold case detective and Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs investigator.

Proctor and Cherokee Chief Chuck Hoskin both said finding a resolution for the Nation’s missing tribal citizens is paramount.

“Time is the enemy. We know that as time passes, hope diminishes and the ability to find these folks starts to vanish,” Hoskin said.

“My role here at the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service is to be where the rubber hits the road to help other agencies,” Proctor said.

Proctor plans to utilize every tool available, including a national database for missing people and social media, along with the OSBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

More information is coming to light about a man who confessed to killing three people and burying their bodies in shallow graves in the Eldon area of Cherokee County.

Robert Edwin Lewis confessed to killing Quinley Lamb, 43, and Brian Shackelford, 51, both of Sharp County, Arkansas, and DeAnna Tippey, 36, of Cherokee County. Tippey was Lewis’ girlfriend, and her address is listed as the same as his.

Lewis, 61, resides at 25182 E. 770 Road in Cherokee County, where the bodies were discovered. According to the assessor’s office, there is no real estate property listed for Lewis. However, the address of 25182 E. 770 Road in Cherokee County pings to a George R. Lewis.

Sheriff Jason Chennault confirmed that Robert didn’t own the property where the bodies were discovered, but that a family member of his did. George’s address is in Grants Pass, Oregon, and an aerial map of 25182 E. 770 Road shows a mobile home on the 30 acres. The mailing address listed for Robert shows he is a resident of Stilwell, in Adair County.

“His mailing address is a Stilwell address, but everything across Eldon Bridge is Stilwell addresses,” said Chennault.

According to investigators, Robert Lewis moved to Sharp County, Arkansas, from California, and then moved to the Cherokee County area about 15 years ago. He is a U.S. Marine veteran and has likely been unemployed for some time, according to Chennault, who said officials believe he's been getting a government check, possibly for disability. There is no voter record on Robert anywhere in Oklahoma.

Lamb was reported missing by family members on Jan. 24 after they weren’t able to get in touch with her through social media or by her cell phone. On Friday, Jan. 28, Lamb’s brother drove to the property where Robert lived and found her buried in a shallow grave.

According to the probable cause affidavit, the brother was with Lewis’ ex-wife, Christina Orosz. The woman called Lewis and asked him about Lamb, Shackelford and another man.

“Robert told her they [were] here but now they are gone and won’t be seen again,” the affidavit said.

Orosz took investigators back to the property where Lamb’s body was buried.
