Kaylyn joined the Oklahoma Cold Cases team in mid-2023. She is a lifelong resident of Western Oklahoma. She has a BS in Criminal Justice that carried a minor in Family Studies, and is currently obtaining her Paralegal certification through OSU.

Kaylyn is passionate about understanding the legal system as well as the dynamics of family life, and how the two intertwine. She currently also works for the State of Oklahoma’s Department of Human Services within the Adult Protective Services Division. Her role there involves ensuring the safety and protection of vulnerable adults within our state. 

Kaylyn says that “Little did I know that my involvement in this project, particularly in telling the stories of the victims and their families, would bring such profound fulfillment to my life. Writing these stories has not only allowed me to explore my passion but also to make a meaningful difference in the world, shedding light on unresolved cases and giving voice to those whose stories may have otherwise been forgotten.”
