As always, people in the area hoped for the best: that 25 year-old Cassandra Lee Ramsey had gotten clean, got off the street, maybe moved in with family to get her life straight. Months later, in October, another local prostitute went missing. Traces of cocaine were found on Jane’s body as well. Many of the girls who worked the area also had drug habits, which kept them on the street even when their lives were on the line. Featuring low-rent motels and liquor stores, it was prime real estate for those who walked the darker side of life. Jane was a prostitute, one of many girls who worked the area along Cache Road. Cache Road was known as a hotbed of criminal activity, including prostitution. Unfortunately, Jane’s profession also did a lot to keep the pool of suspects vast, nearly uncountable. Still, there was enough to determine she had been murdered. By the time Jane’s body was found the combination of decomposition and water had done well to hide potential evidence. Floating in the Sandy Bear Creek was the nude body of 28 year-old Jane Marie Chafton, last seen in Lawton.Īt first it seemed like a rather ordinary, if tragic, murder. Or, at least, that was when the first victim was found. It began during the sweltering Summer of 1999.
#MONTANA UNSOLVED SERIAL KILLERS SERIAL#
It was the perfect place for an entrepreneurial serial killer to set up shop.
Drugs, prostitution, and murder were plentiful all the unfortunate hallmarks of a growing metropolis. In the late 90s and early 00s crime had become an unfortunate norm.
Of course, as any city grows it’s sure to attract the seedier side of business too. Today the city boasts about its connection to arts and humanities, recreational hot spots, and of course its convenient accommodations for those visiting nearby Fort Sill. It became the site of wars and skirmishes during its territorial days confrontations with native peoples that still leave scars that stretch into the present. Lawton has a long, sometimes troubled history, as many places in Oklahoma do.
