Reuben Kenneth “Kirk” Kirkpatrick was murdered on December 15, 2002 in Oklahoma City. He was seventy-seven years old.

Kirk had been found inside his Oklahoma City home on Carter Drive. His brother found him, and he had been stabbed thirty-seven times. There is very little public information about Kirk’s murder out there, other than in 2017 his daughter stated that there was little forensic evidence in the case and that there hadn’t really been any leads.

Kirk was a beloved father and grandfather. He was a beloved brother. Today marks twenty years since his life was ripped away from his loved ones and they deserve answers.
