2 Girls Found Dead in a Ditch Along Rural Oklahoma Road
Oklahoma police are searching for a motive in the double slayings of two young girls found dead Sunday night in a ditch along a rural road.
The girls, friends aged 13 and 11, were discovered by a relative after they failed to return from an afternoon walk on the county road south of Interstate 40 in Okfuskee County near Weleetka, Okla.
The deaths of the girls, whose names have not been released by the medical examiner, were labeled "double homicide" by investigators, according to News9.com in Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoman identified the elder girl as Taylor Placker and said the girls were found clothed in T-shirts and shorts with multiple gunshot wounds. Taylor's father discovered the bodies.
KOCO-TV identified the 11-year-old as Skyla Whitaker.
Okfuskee County Sheriff Jack Choate told the paper that they have a suspect in the case, but no motive.
"They were little girls," Choate told the paper. "What possible motive could there be? You have to wonder, did they see something they were not supposed to? Were they at the wrong place at the wrong time?"
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Inspector Stan Florence said they combed the area through the night.
"This is a case that involves two innocent girls that were walking out on their own," Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Inspector Stan Florence said. "Some evidence has been found at the scene which may be useful to us. We have spent a lot of time going down this road looking for evidence."
Florence did not immediately return a call for comment from FOXNews.com.
A spokesman at the sheriff's department told FOXNews.com that investigators were still at the scene. Stormy weather had blown through the area late Sunday and early Monday.
The girls were found in an isolated pasture area about one-quarter of a mile from one of the girls' homes. Weleetka is a community of approximately 950 people about 90 miles east of Oklahoma City.
Taylor attended Graham Public School in Weleetka, where in 2006 she was a fifth grade queen candidate in the Elementary Royalty Coronation, according to the school's Web site.
"Taylor was the most lively, beautiful little girl you ever met," her uncle Joe Mosher told the Oklahoman. "She was very intelligent and had good grades. She didn't have an enemy in this world. People who didn't even know her loved her."

Very, very sad! 
Taylor Paschal-Plaker went for a walk with her friend Skyla and never returned home on Sunday.
Skyla Whitaker, 11-years-old, was shot to death near the small town of Weleetka.

Best Friends Murdered on Sleepover Stroll
Oklahoma Police Interview 'Persons of Interest,' Offer $10,000 Reward in Shootings
By DAVID SCHOETZ
June 10, 2008
Authorities in Oklahoma continue to hunt for the killer or killers responsible for murdering two girls as they walked along a dirt road Sunday evening in the remote town of Weleetka, about 60 miles south of Tulsa.
Skyla Whitaker, 11, and Taylor Paschal-Placker, 13, described as best friends, both died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the state's medical examiner.
"They were found in a ditch on the side of a dirt road in a small town in Okfuskee County," Jessica Brown, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI), told ABC News.
State law enforcement officials have sent investigators to help local police comb the crime scene, located in a densely wooded area. One detail authorities were looking at were tire tracks near the spot where the girls were found. However, heavy rains throughout the day Monday did not help the investigation, Brown said.
Authorities have been interviewing family and friends of the two girls. While authorities have followed up on several leads and interviewed people of interest, Brown said that they have not yet named a specific suspect.
The OSBI will be offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the crime.
The bodies of the girls, wearing shorts and T-shirts, were found by Peter Placker, Taylor's grandfather. He went looking for the girls after one of them failed to pick up a call on her cell phone. They were about a quarter-mile from Taylor's house, where they were having a sleepover.
Okfuskee Sheriff Jack Choate said at the crime scene Tuesday that he did not know what the motive might have been for such a heinous crime. "When you're talking about an 11- and 12-year-old? What kind of motive can there be to take an 11-year-old's life?"
"They were the best and I'm not just saying that because they are gone," Wanda Mankin, the girls' principal and school counselor, told ABC News. Taylor was a new student last fall at the local K-12 school, which had very small classes.
"There were five girls in that classroom and they were all best friends," Mankin said. "The other three girls are devastated." Mankin, who said that counseling resources have been made available, said the child murders shattered the perceived security in the rural area.
Choate also said that he did not believe the crime was entirely random. "We don't think it was someone who was driving through a major highway and accidentally came up on them," he said. "I think it was somebody who knew the area."
Joe Mosher, identified by ABC News' Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO as Taylor's uncle, described his 13-year-old niece as a girl who did not have an enemy in the world. "She got along with everyone," Mosher said. "She didn't have an enemy in this world. People who never met her fell in love with her."
The double murder has left authorities pushing for a quick arrest as members of the quiet Oklahoma community grasp for answers.
"Nobody can understand what's going on right now," Mosher said.

Investigator in Oklahoma Double Murder: 'Shooter Wanted These Girls Dead'
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
An official investigating the double murder of two young girls in Oklahoma said Tuesday the "shooter wanted these girls dead," as the relative who discovered their lifeless bodies remembered the children as inseparable best friends.
Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, 13, and Skyla Jade Whitaker, 11, were found shot to death in a ditch Sunday along a rural road in Weleetka, Okla., about 90 miles from Oklahoma City.
"There's obviously an issue here where the shooter wanted these girls dead and certainly carried that to its fullest extent," Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Inspector Stan Florence told FOX News.
An autopsy found they had been shot multiple times. Florence said it didn't appear that they were molested. The girls were found clothed in their T-shirts and shorts.
Florence confirmed that they have identified a person of interest in the case, stopping short of calling the individual a suspect.
We have "someone who we're interested in at this point," he said. "But we do have other leads, as well, that may lead us to other suspects."
Florence said they were acting on tips to identify the person's relationship with the grade-schoolers.
"We believe this person may have known these two girls," Florence said. "We're trying to establish the type of relationship, if there was one, where we can determine exactly what connection there was between them."
Meanwhile, the man who found the bodies said the girls were inseparable.
"When they didn't have something to do with their parents, they spent all their time talking to each other or spent the night with each other," Peter Placker, Taylor's biological grandfather, told FOXNews.com.
Placker raised Taylor as his own daughter and said she was a straight-A student who quickly made friends when the family moved to Weleetka from Oklahoma City several years ago.
"She touched everybody," Placker said. "Everybody down here loved her."
Taylor had made the quarter-mile walk down the road to a bridge daily for a year for exercise, Placker told FOXNews.com.
"She hardly ever does it at the same time everyday," he said. "Sometimes she'll do it in the morning, sometimes she'll do it in the afternoon, sometimes she'll do it about an hour or two before dark."
Placker found Taylor and Skyla dead after they didn't return home from one of those walks Sunday afternoon.
"She was my only baby," Placker said. "I've got four other ones, but that's my baby."
Investigators planned to hold a news conference at 3 p.m. ET to discuss the case. A $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Who would have EVER thought two little girls, in such a rural community, basically out in the middle of nowhere, would get shot......MULTIPLE times...head and chest....murdered in cold blood, just out taking a walk. Unbelievable to me.
In one article it said the one girl was the ONLY student in 6th grade in her class; the other girl was the ONLY student in 5th grade. So we ARE talking majorly rural here. Gosh!
Just heartbreaking for that community. I hope they find answers soon.

It almost sounds like a wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing. Drugs or something they witnessed that they weren't suppose to.
I hope they find who ever did this soon. It is so senseless.

This part caught my attention the most.
It seems to me the two little girls knew this person(s). Maybe the girls knew about something he/they did and he/they was afraid they would tell someone.
It's shocking and very sad how many crimes are committed. Especially when the victims are just children.

That got my attention too, CK.
The girls must have seen or heard something, but still to kill 2 innocent children is just so awful!

Girls' shooting deaths rattle rural Oklahoma town
Story Highlights
Oklahoma authorities offer $14,000 reward in girls' shooting deaths
Taylor Dawn Paschal, 13, and Skyla Jade Whitaker, 11, were shot dead Sunday
Authorities say the location of the shooting makes a local suspect more likely
By Emanuella Grinberg
CNN
(CNN) -- Residents of a small Oklahoma town were warned Tuesday that the shooting deaths of two schoolgirls may be the work of someone who lives in the area.
"If it were me, I wouldn't let my kids out walking unless there were other people around that you knew," Okfuskee County Sheriff Jack Choate said Tuesday. "We don't know what the threat is."
Authorities said Tuesday that they were offering a $14,000 reward for information related to the deaths of close friends Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, 13, of Weleetka and Skyla Jade Whitaker, 11, of Henryetta.
The girls had planned a sleepover at Taylor's house Sunday night, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Agent Ben Rosser said Tuesday.
The two left Taylor's home about 5 p.m. Sunday and headed north on the rural county road where Taylor lived, toward a bridge that is a popular gathering spot, Ross said.Watch Rosser talk about the case »
A few minutes later, Taylor's grandfather and guardian called her cell phone to tell the girls to return home. When she didn't answer, he went out to look for them, according to Rosser.
About a quarter mile down the road, which Taylor and Skyla had used many times before, he found them lying side by side in a ditch. They had multiple gunshot wounds in the head and chest. There were no signs of sexual assault, Rosser said.
"It's just not likely that somebody pulled off U.S. 75 or I-40 and went there," Rosser said, referring to where the girls were found, about three miles from the nearest major thoroughfare. "We're thinking it's a person from the local area."
The shooting occurred outside Weleetka, a town of about 1,000 residents 75 miles from Tulsa. Taylor and Skyla were the only girls in their sixth- and fifth-grade classes, according to The Oklahoman newspaper.
"Believe it or not, I have never pulled any shades in my house and I keep my doors unlocked," said Dena Priddy, a teacher's aide at the school the victims attended, The Associated Press reported. "You just don't expect these things to happen here."
"I can't put it into words," said Jake Fenley, Skyla's basketball coach, according to the AP. "This doesn't happen in rural middle America."
Rosser also said that although authorities were considering all avenues of investigation, they had not closed in on any suspects or persons of interest. Rosser said evidence from the scene, including DNA and ballistics, had been sent to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation lab for processing.
Rosser said authorities were also investigating tire tracks and footprints in determining a possible motive for the shootings.
"They were close together, as far as if they were fleeing, that's one thing we're trying to consider," he said. "We're looking at everything."
Choate said that since the killings, his office has received numerous calls from concerned parents.
"I think anytime that you have people this age killed, regardless of whether it's a girl or a boy, it has an effect on everyone," Choate said. "The first thing that crosses my mind is, 'What if that ever happened to me?' "
By Tuesday morning, a makeshift memorial consisting of rosary beads, stuffed animals and flowers had replaced the yellow crime scene tape where the bodies were found, according to the AP.
Police are asking members of the public with information about the case to call (800)522-8017.
To make a donation to a burial fund for the victims' families, the public can also contact the Bank of Commerce in Weleetka, Rosser said.

Funeral arrangements set for slain girls
By Johnny Johnson
Staff Writer
WELEETKA — Funeral arrangements for two girls shot to death in rural Okfuskee County have been set for Friday.
Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, 13, and Skyla Jade Whitaker, 11, were found shot to death in a ditch along a dirt road near Weleetka, less than a mile from Taylor's home Sunday evening.
Funeral services for Taylor are scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday at Dewar First Baptist Church. Services for Skyla are scheduled for 2 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Henryetta.
Shurden Funeral Home in Henryetta is handling funeral services for Taylor and Rogers Funeral Home, also in Henryetta, is handing services for Skyla.
The two girls took a walk down to a bridge about 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Taylor's grandfather, Peter Placker, went looking for the girls after she didn't answer her cell phone. Placker found the girls and made a 911 call on his granddaughter's cell phone.
So far, no one has been arrested in the case, said Okfuskee County Sheriff Jack Choate.
Investigators were able to get samples of tire tracks at the scene and also recovered shell casings. Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Agent Ben Rosser said the investigation is focusing on people who may live in the area or be familiar with county roads since the road is not easily accessible from the interstate.
More investigators are being sent to Okfuskee County today and the OSBI will conduct a news briefing at 2 p.m. today at the Okfuskee County Courthouse in Okemah.
The girls were shot multiple times in the head and the chest, according to the State Medical Examiner's Office.
HOW TO HELP:
Donations may be sent to:
Bank of Commerce, P.O. Box 48, Weleetka, OK 74880.
For more information call (405) 786-2216.
REWARD OFFERED
The OSBI is offering a $14,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the shootings. Agent Ben Rosser said the reward could increase as the OSBI gets calls of people wanting to donate. "America's Most Wanted" plans to do a segment on the slaying. For more information, call the OSBI hot line at (800) 522-8017.

See I'm just not buying that right now. First of all, the girls obviously didn't "see anything" while they were walking. If "something" is a meth lab or something like that.....or else others would have/could have seen it. So, that leaves, the girls "saw" or "knew" something elsewhere, and were targeted. Well......how would the perp(s) KNOW that these girls would be out walking TOGETHER, at that particular time, and where they would be walking?
I tend to think it is someone local, but not necessarily someone who knows them. I think it's a local WACKO, or two of them (AMW is reporting they think there was two shooters now). With no apparent motive other then they saw them and wanted to play with their guns. Awful to say but I just cannot fathom a real motive.
Anyway those are just my thoughts.....

Oh Dear Lord, that was just not a killing that was an overkill.
It's heavily wooded there, could they have seen something/someone in the woods?

I agree, Gwen.
There are so many crimes where it takes very little for a perp to kill someone. Really shocking and sad.

Could be, Savannah.
I was rather thinking that the girls knew him/them from previous times, that they possibly have even spoken to each other before. And that the girls knew already that he/they did something illegal or immoral.
That the girls were walking there could be a habit of them. It could even be that they were meeting him/them there!  And he/they got angry at the girls and shot them multiple times.

Oklahoma Investigators: 2 Weapons Used to Kill Girls
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Two different weapons were used to murder a pair of young best friends as they walked along a rural road in Oklahoma, investigators said Wednesday, suggesting they may be searching for two or more assailants.
The detectives based their conclusion on ballistics tests on evidence collected along County Line Road in Weleetka, Okla., where the bodies of Taylor Paschal-Placker, 13, and Skyla Whitaker, 11, were found. The tests showed that two different-caliber guns were used to kill the girls, but it isn't clear what kind of guns.
"Where we were looking for one [shooter], possibly two, now it looks more likely there are two or more," Special Agent Ben Rosser of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said.
Officials still don't have suspects or an apparent motive in the murder of the girls, killed on Sunday just a few hundred yards from Taylor's home near a bridge she often walked to for exercise.
"This could be some sort of random thrill killing; it could be an attempted abduction," Rosser said. "It could be somebody that just had, for whatever reason, had a personal motive, maybe mistaken identity, or possibly they did interrupt something down near the bridge. We just don't know. But all things are being considered at this point."
An autopsy found the girls had died of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and face, Chief Investigator Kevin Rowland of the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner's office told FOXNews.com.
Rosser wouldn't say Wednesday how many times the girls were shot.
Taylor's grandfather, Peter Placker, found the girls clothed in T-shirts and shorts just 20 to 25 minutes from the time they last were seen. That short window leads investigators to think that the girls were not molested by their assailants, though lab work still is pending.
"As far as a sexual assault, I don't believe they were," Rosser told FOX News.
The area's isolation leads police to believe locals killed the girls, though Rosser said family members aren't suspected.
This lack of suspects or a motive for the grisly slayings has put this small community of 1,000 on edge and in the national spotlight.
"This just hits to the very core of America," Rosser said. "That two little girls can't go walking down a country lane road in this day and age, it's pretty sad."
Okfuskee County Sheriff Jack Choate is telling parents to keep an eye on their children.
"We don't know what the threat is, but if it were me, I wouldn't let my kids out walking unless there was other people around ... that you knew," he said. "Just natural security for your own kids."
Dena Priddy, a teacher's aide at Graham Public School, where Taylor and Skyla were students, has headed the warning.
"I have guns loaded," she told the Associated Press, adding she wouldn't let her teenage daughter out of the house.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers. The Bank of Commerce in Weleetka has set up accounts to help raise money for the girls' burials, which are scheduled for Friday.
After a press conference Wednesday, a local chaplain prayed to bring the girls killers "grief and remorse so strong that they will run no longer, but will come forward and face the consequences of their actions."

Could be, Savannah.
I was rather thinking that the girls knew him/them from previous times, that they possibly have even spoken to each other before. And that the girls knew already that he/they did something illegal or immoral.
That the girls were walking there could be a habit of them. It could even be that they were meeting him/them there! And he/they got angry at the girls and shot them multiple times. |
You could be right also. It's just such a baffling, horrific case. I am still in a state of shock.

You could be right as well, Savannah. Sometimes, there is not even a motive. Like those snippers in Washington DC who killed so many people, people of different race, gender and age.
The police only said two different guns were used.
However, they did not say what kind of guns. Maybe riffles?
They would not say how many shots. Only that the girls were shot in the face and chest.
And they did not say from what distance they were shot. IF the girls were shot from a large distance, that would explain that it was maybe a random crime for "sports". IF it was from a short distance, it would be very disturbing! Very brutal, IMO.
I hope they will catch those POS soon!

I think I did hear "both girls were shot multiple times".....and yes, head and chest.
