A woman has been missing for years and now one man is dead in Oklahoma — the result of a presumed reprisal killing, police say.

For now, however, any fatally violent connection between the vanished and the slain remains speculative and unproven.

This week, three men were arrested for the man’s murder.

And more arrests may be coming.
