Weleetka case not progressing

Associated Press - July 8, 2008 12:35 AM ET
WELEETKA, Okla. (AP) - One month after two girls were shot to death on a rural Okfuskee County road, investigators don't appear to be much closer to solving the crime than they were the day it happened.
No arrests have been made. No suspects have been identified. No motive has been determined. And a sketch of a mystery man who is listed as a "person of interest" has produced hundreds of leads but no notable results.

Thanks for this Christine. NO motive, no suspects. Everything about this case was/is pointing towards a NA man that no one has ever seen again.
Yet, there were 6 witnesses who gave detailed descriptions of him, including his brilliant eye color. Quite intriguing actually.

Completely baffles me to NO end.

It does look like the POI, but it said he didn't cut himself loose from his monitoring device until June 22 of this year. That means he was being tracked until then. They would have known he was out of the area early in June.

KR2, I think only a couple of the witnesses actually saw him. The others either saw the girls or heard shots. At least, that's what I remember. I've read so much, I could be mistaken.

I know CC. Why put all the eggs in one basket is my point? You came up with some interesting ideas, but I recall OSBI didn't want our opinions.

So where does this leave them?? With 0 as of today.

As for the Picture above, he could have broken probation 6/25 technically. He could have been "Free" to committ this crime. How come he's not around now to be tracked down now??

OSBI didn't want our opinions? When were they asked, KR2?
 
  • #68
WOW!!!! He sure does look like the POI. I checked OCIS for a file on him, guess what? He was arrested on a traffic infraction back in 1989. It says he is from Gore, OK. He also drove a 1989 Ford. It did not say what color it was.

letsthink - the poi from OK does look like the link you found = fritz child
molestor, but the murder of the 2 gals took place on 6-9? and he didn't
cut free until 6-22 (i think). so yes, he would have been tracked at the
time of the murders....that still doesn't mean that they didn't track him
there and that he didn't do it. especailly since he still missing.............
something to think about.

He does look like the sketch - BUT IF he was monitored and they know he was in Phoenix (or home/work etc) thru June 22nd 2008, he could not have killed Skyla and Taylor in Weleetka on June 8th. It isn't as if Phoenix is across the road from Weleetka OK. It takes like 16 hours (or so) to drive there from Phoenix (one way). And I sure think they'd know if he was gone for 2-3 DAYS - it took them only 24 hours to issue a warrant when he ditched the monitoring device.

And where did OSBI say they didn't want the Public's help? They have a NATIONWIDE MANHUNT going on for the POI - I assume that would indicate that they want people to help them locate him. At least that is what I would think - and I have read nothing to contradict that.

Every one of the recent articles I read just re-hashes the same information - except that in one LE verifies that the investigation is ongoing with polygraphs and tips. One poorly written article even repeated that there were two shooters because each girl was shot with two guns - which any reasonable person would know ONE PERSON can accomplish easily with two guns. :waitasec:

But the new articles do prove that the media is still LOOKING for new information and pushing the OSBI to reveal new information. OSBI just isn't talking - and I still believe there is a reason for the info valve to be shut off right now. We HAVE seen this before - usually in the weeks before there is an arrest or at least a warrant issued and some blockbuster revelation comes out (or is released). All I can say is hinky hinky hinky - my hinky meter is definitely feeling something - just can't put my finger on what it is.

And you know guys - LE could be questioning someone of interest every day and we wouldn't KNOW IT. It isn't like there are reporters sitting at the OSBI offices or at the Okfuskee County Sheriff's Office telling us who is coming and going.

Lets hope that progress IS being made and the families are a part of an arranged silence because I can say ONE THING - if this was MY DAUGHTER I would be on TV and on the computer and the phone all my waking hours every day trying to get the POI sketch out there and get him located and putting constant pressure on LE/OSBI....in PUBLIC. Frankly WE are creating more pressure than the family members are and that's kinda wierd to me unless the families have been ASKED to sit back and wait.

I understand grief - but I also know that I would grieve for a few days and then I wouldn't rest again so long as my child's killer was walking around free. I could rest when I die - until then, there's work to be done and a killer to catch. It isn't like this is one family being shy and quiet - but TWO families - and several "parents" and step -parents and G-Parents who loved each girl - all of whom are doing NOTHING to move the investigation forward or saying a word about it. Two families and they can't get ONE PERSON to step up and make this their "cause"? I'd have Greta, Nancy, People Magazine and Dominick Dunne on speed dial and be wearing out the car tires driving from the OSBI Office in OKC and the Sheriffs Office in Okfuskee County - and I'd be sure there was a TV crew there to see me doing it too! If not, I'd be bringing my own camera and someone to run it. I'd be doing everything I could to keep the case alive and fresh - those Angels deserve a force as steady and determined and focused as the turtles Taylor loved - I HOPE they have it and there's a good reason for why we don't know about it.

Hmmm.......wonder if he was in custody prior to his plea of guilty? I don't think he would have been monitored until AFTER June 12. IMO, he does look remarkebly like the person OK is seeking to question.

JMHO

PHOENIX -- A 46-year-old convicted sex offender removed his GPS monitoring device and fled from probation on June 22, Phoenix police said Thursday.

Anthony Charles Fritz pleaded guilty on June 12 to one count of attempted sexual conduct with a minor.

Hi sheza!

:Welcome-12-june:

I don't think anyone is ignoring you. This case is just moving slowly now and not too many people here at the same time. LOL, I didn't even see your first post, just your second!

On June 12, 1986, Anthony Charles Fritz, pled guilty to Attempted Sexual Conduct with a Minor. On March 26, 1993,Fritz pled guilty to Child Molestation and Attempted Child Molestation. This repeat offender was released from prison on March 23, 2007. On June 22 of this year, Fritz, on probation, cut loose from his tracking device and disappeared. On June 23 a probation violation was issued.
He is 47, 6' tall, 175 lbs and has brown hair and eyes (his hair appears fairly long in the photo shown)
http://crimeshadowsnews.com/main/

The info isn't clear about the period between June 1986 (1st conviction) and March 1993 (2nd conviction), but he obviously was in prison from March 26, 1993 to March 27, 2007 - at which time he was released on a monitored tracking device probation - which he cut loose on June 22, 2008 and is now wanted (as of June 23rd,2008).

There is no information on him violating his probation before he cut the tracking device loose - such as an extended absence of 2-3 days around June 8th, 2008. It should be easy to verify if he COULD be the POI in the Weleetka Case, just send this information to the OSBI, the Okfuskee County Sheriff's Dept and a Reporter or two in OK.

That was confusing on that FC from one article to the next. You're probably right and the second article was probably a misprint.

fran

PS........OK, now on second thought, maybe this guy isn't so far out left field. He was originally from Gore, OK, when, IF one were to drive from Gore, OK, to Phoenix Az, it's a loonnnggg stretch via I40, driving right on by Weleetka............

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, interesting, wonder if it WASN'T until June 12, 2008 that he had his monitor on and he took it off June 22, 2008?????

He could have possibly headed back to where he was from, Oklahoma...

KR2, I think only a couple of the witnesses actually saw him. The others either saw the girls or heard shots. At least, that's what I remember. I've read so much, I could be mistaken.

From what I recall Agent Brown said they have had six witnesses who have come forward stating they saw the POI. I believe that was said in one of their last pressers. They may have even more witnesses now.

What we don't know is what else they saw besides him as that has been kept a secret by OSBI.

Then they said they had a witness that had seen the girls walking shortly before the murders occured.

I sent the wrong page. But I think you can find all the minutes on him if you go to the Maricopa Superior court.

Please forgive me, I'm not that great sending things with the computer.

Try this link on June 4, 2008 his release conditions were modified "
The Court has received a Memorandum dated June 3, 2008 from defense counsel stating
that under the active GPS monitoring unit a landline is not required for electronic monitoring.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED granting Defendant&#8217;s oral motion to modify release

Services Agency, including drug and alcohol monitoring, electronic monitoring by active GPS,
