In January, 2012, 56 year-old Phillip Porter was brutally murdered in his Grove, Oklahoma mobile home. His throat was slashed in a bloody crime scene. Originally, the authorities ruled the death a suicide, but it soon became clear that this was a homicide, in part due to no weapon being found. Rumors began to swirl about who might be responsible and why, but nothing strong enough to make an arrest ever materialized, and the case remains unsolved to this day.

The Citizen Detective team is hoping to sort through all of the rumors and get to the truth based on the clues and evidence.

In this episode, we wrap up our coverage of the June, 1996 disappearance of Barbara Johnson-Willard in Jay, Oklahoma, We discuss additional suspects, explore some of the many rumors in her case, and tie up loose ends.

In our second part of the investigation into Barbara Johnson-Willard who vanished from Jay, Oklahoma in Delaware County on June 17, 1996, her car was later found abandoned in a ravine near Colcord. The team takes a closer look at a strong suspect in her case, convicted rapist and predator, John Lee Weeks. Barbara and Weeks knew each other, and physical evidence ties Weeks to Barbara’s car, but Delaware County, OK authorities are missing that one crucial piece of evidence to charge Weeks in Barbara’s case.
