Weleetka, OKIt’s a small town in the middle of nowhere, ninety miles east of Oklahoma City. The kind of place where nobody would worry too much about two girls going out for a walk, even young girls. And when they don’t come home right away, parents don’t think “murdered”, they think “grounded”. But murder is what happened to Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, 13, and Skyla Jade Whitaker, 11, on Sunday evening.

Who Killed Taylor Placker and Skyla Whitaker?Who Killed Taylor Placker and Skyla Whitaker?

Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker and Skyla Jade Whitaker

At about 5:30 Sunday afternoon, the two girls went for a walk down toward a bridge near Taylor’s home. When they didn’t come back, Taylor’s grandfather went looking for them – and found Taylor and Skyla lying face down in a roadside ditch, killed by multiple gunshot wounds. The girls were fully clothed, and there were no apparent signs of sexual assault, although autopsies have not yet been completed.

Taylor was a sweet, studious girl who had been home schooled until her family moved to Weleetka. Raised by her grandparents, she made good grades and had been elected queen in an elementary school contest in the fifth grade. As a sixth-grader, she was the only girl in her class – that’s how small Weleetka is.

Skyla wanted to be a veterinarian. A tall brunette, she was an outgoing fifth grader who played basketball. She had been over at Taylor’s house for a sleepover, and the girls often took walks together. Even though the shots were fired about a quarter-mile or so from the Placker home, windy conditions kept anyone at the house from hearing the shots.

“They were little girls, what possible motive could there be?” asked Okfuskee County Sheriff Jack Choate. “You have to wonder, did they see something they were not supposed to? Were they at the wrong place at the wrong time?”

As of right now, nobody really knows. Tire tracks and ballistics evidence are being tested, and the girls’ families are struggling with questions which have no answers as yet. I’ll be updating as information comes in. Anyone who wants to donate to the funeral costs can do so. The fund is set up at the Weleetka Commerce Bank.

UPDATE 6/13/08 – Investigators have released a sketch of a possible suspect based on witness statements who say they saw a man outside a white pickup truck in the middle of the road around the time the girls were killed. The man is described as 6 feet tall, about 35 years old, native American with a long black ponytail and wearing a baseball cap. The reward for information leading to an arrest in this case is now over $30,000.

Who Killed Taylor Placker and Skyla Whitaker?

Sketch released by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation on Friday, June 13 of possible person of interest in the girls’ murders.

Updates:

  • State medical examiner’s office report each girl was shot multiple times in the head and chest. Each girl was shot with two weapons.
  • The girls were found close together – one in the ditch itself, one a bit higher up on the grass.
  • Investigators have said sexual assault appears unlikely. They were clothed and had only been missing for half an hour.
  • Ballistic tests show two guns involved. Two shooters likely. One high caliber weapon and one low caliber weapon were used.
  • Investigators are now going through a computer used by Taylor Paschal-Placker at her home and interviewing kids who knew the girls well, lending credence to the theory that the girls may have been going to meet someone.
  • A sketch was released on Friday of a Native American man, aged about 35, six feet tall with a long black ponytail, wearing a baseball cap. This man is a person of interest and was seen outside a white Ford or Chevy pickup truck in the middle of the road near the time the girls were killed. Up to six witnesses have either reported seeing the man or hearing gunshots at about that time.
  • Funerals for both girls were being held at separate times on Friday in Weleetka.
  • Reward for information leading to an arrest in the case was over $30,000 by Friday.

      One of the girls had a cell phone with her. That’s when the grandparents got worried, when the girl wouldn’t answer it.

      “I can’t describe coming up on it,” Peter Placker said, sobbing uncontrollably, as he tried to remember walking up on the scene, only about one-quarter mile from his house. “I done it once and I can’t do it again.”

      Pure Speculation: Sounds a like a carful of joyriders and one surprised the others by pulling out a gun.

      It’s just heartbreaking to look at these little girls and realize they won’t grow up.

      Not really, Tricia. Local LE and the OBI had at least 20 investigators on site by yesterday evening, so if there’s evidence there aside from tire tracks and ballistics, I’m hopeful they’ll find it.

      I think the ME report should be out within the next day or so.

      Since there’s already a “person of interest”, I’m betting LE has a good idea of who did this, and probably knows why.

      I hope the person(s) who did this horrific, senseless crime are caught and caught soon!!!

      Poor little girls. Thank the good Lord, that so far, it doesn’t seem that the girls were raped. I hope the reports of an “instant death” are correct.

      Autopsies performed Monday on the girls show that they had been shot in the head and chest, said Kevin Rowland, chief medical examiner. Rowland did not release any other details.

      “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.”

      And, of course, the obligatory breaks my heart comment-
      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.”

      To whoever did this, rot in hell. Bastards.

      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 that evidence from the scene, including DNA and ballistics, had been sent to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation lab for processing.

      When I think about all the walks and bike rides my best friend and I took at that age…shit, we LIVED outside…It’s especially tragic, to me. The apparent randomness makes it absolutely horrifying, and the fact that they have no persons of interest is disheartening, to say the least.

      I hope the people who did this are found quickly, and I hope it’s a capital case.

      I bet if they catch the pieces of shit, it will be young white males, probably late teens early twenties. Sounds horrible but I bet this was what they call a “thrill kill”. May even be still in high school. From what I read it appears they walked this way quite a bit……..I am thinking this was random. I don’t think they were targeted personally. I hope they catch them and they rot!

    • Athena

      That’s a plenty reasonable hypothesis, Sarabei. I refrained from postulating about the case until I heard that they have not even one person of interest. Given the nature of the crime, I think that “thrill kill” is a probability. Them being young, white and male is almost a given, if that’s the case. I only hope that one eventually turns on the other, if physical evidence is of no help.

      I don’t know why I keep thinking they were meeting someone. Absolutely nothing suggests that. I just find it too coincidental that two people shot and killed two girls at random. Not that it is impossible, of course. The only other thing I can think of that makes any sense is that they walked up on something. But seeing as this was in broad daylight on a road that was mentioned as “well traveled”…I dunno.

      Seems like a thrill kill to me. Being from Oklahoma, I can definitely see people, raised around guns, having nothing to do and killing kids for fun. It’s sick, but I’ve seen sicker on this site.

      I’m really not sure on the meeting someone thing. When I was that age, I was always walking–it’s pretty much the only thing to do–especially in a town like Weleetka.

      Poor parents. I hope they get those fucks, and I hope they’re old enough to be tried as adults (if they aren’t adults already).

      I can’t say I blame you, Morbid. I mean, you deal in these stories and, seriously…how often are these things random?

      I suppose also that they could have walked up on none of their business. That’s the only other thing that makes sense, at this point. I’ll be interested as details come out, because “totally random” creeps me out to no end. Of course, any excuse in the world wouldn’t be good enough. But, I like to attempt to understand why this kind of thing ever occurs.

    • sarabei

      I am like Athena, I always want to know the WHY of it…even though there really isn’t an answer other than that some people are just evil, sick, bastards. One thing that makes me go with the thrill kill idea (an here, again, it could be someone they know) is I have read so many of these things where kids are doing that. For instance, recently there were these two boys and they killed a female friend of theirs, cause they wanted to know what it felt like to kill…then one of the killer’s mommy whines cause her lil killer son gets life without parole. I think parents are part of the problem as well…not making kids man up and take responsibilty for their actions, whether missing curfew or something horrible, there is always a consequence for actions.

      Pure Speculation: I see it now as a bonding kill. The killers each killed a person, did it at the same time, and now they’re bros or Bonnie and Clyde forever. It didn’t matter who they killed, they were on that road looking for someone alone.

      Pure Spec Cont.: I can see Morbid’s theory, too, but what could it have been other than a drug deal that involved locals? Or someone wanted by the law whom the kid could have reported?

      It just makes me sick to think of these little girls dead forever. And they were planning a sleep-over, so sad.

      The plot thickens. If there is evidence on her computer that she was meeting someone that’s very disturbing. To me it would suggest that the person pre meditated the murder. They were only gone a half hour and found fully clothed. It seems unlikely they were lured for sexual purposes. I just hope they catch these people asap because they clearly are cold blooded killers.

      I’m with you on this one, Morbid. I think there is the outside chance that it was a more random act, but it looks to me like a pickup gone wrong. Maybe they people they were supposed to meet didn’t look right to the girls and they said they were gonna tell…

      what really bugs me is the placement of the bodies. It looks to me like maybe the girls were running. One was shot first, the other tried to run and was shot as well. It’s horrible. I’m gonna try to get the news conference either online or on tv.

      There is another place called ZWINKY…..my son is ALWAYS in there and it’s like sims but it’s people from all over. My daughter is 15 and she assures me that it all little kids but I still try and keep my eye on it.

      I would really like to know what happened, I hope they figure this out soon!

      My son (12) has myspace he barely uses it logs on maybe 1x a month. He does go to club penguin a lot, I have logged on and acted played a bit (boring) but there is chat. My girlfriends daughter goes to horse land, I think that’s the name, she’s 11, and that has chat. There are a lot of sites where predators can target these kids, we have to really be on our kids.

      I didn’t want my son chatting his friends were he felt left out I finally gave in. We discussed not giving out info. & not meeting people, etc…

      I worry, but also think I would worry more if I had girls!

      they are saying right now that both girls were shot by both weapons…..i guess that’s how they concluded there was 2 shooters? unless they were shot from far away with high caliber and then finished of with the low caliber?………the osbi dude is not giving much info about the witness.

      i think they know something…..they were way to vague on answering the questions……that pc was pointless really but just to say they interviewed someone that saw the girls just before they were killed?…..he said they know the weapons and so do the killers so when they slip up and tell someone, or they interview them they will know….or some shiot like that…..lol.

      I hope I’ve scared him with all the stories. We were at KFC the other night after practice waiting for our food. Some dude was asking him about baseball and stuff. Just general conversation, the dude said “were do you play?”…….i could understand that because there are several organizations around us……my son without hesitating said some random park……..as we were walking out, he said to me “i didn’t want to tell him where we play so i just made it up”…..i thought, that’s my boy!!!

      Does anyone know just how remote this area is? Initial news reports said that it was farm/ranch land and that houses were quite spread apart. Is that accurate?

      I’m just curious because if this was a dirt road out in the country, just how much traffic could it have gotten? Especially in a teeny little town like that. I grew up in an equally small town in New Mexico. Dirt roads in the middle of nowhere got very very little traffic.

      Anyway, my initial gut-reaction to this is that some drunk teens were out fucking around and shot those girls because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. My best friend and I used to walk everywhere together. Just because they were out walking, I wouldn’t assume that they were meeting someone.

      Not trying to argue – just throwing out another suggestion.

      I have lived around there for 22 years of my life and the road is pretty remote, but it is well known by locals and people do go out there to hang out around the bridge and stuff. Alot of people are thinking that it was some drunk teens. I absolutely cannot wait until they find the killer(s) to these 2 precious angels.

      Oklahoma police said Thursday that they’ve interviewed a witness who drove by two girls minutes before they were shot dead along a country road.

      “We can let you know — and the shooters out there — that we do have a witness that was there shortly before the shooting,” Special Agent Ben Rosser of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said at an afternoon news conference.

      http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,365902,00.html

      There is also a $25K reward that is said to be growing. If it was “drunk teens” or a “thrill kill” the 25 will bring out the perps. Sombody will brag or tell.

      I agree. People who would do such a thing, will turn on each other for 25K and a lot less usually. And as to the bragging part, you know it. People cannot keep their mouths shut.

      If I had kids, I think they’d not be on the internet at all. At least not chatting and posting info about themselves. The internet is a big, open window to the world with “Come on in and meet my kids” written below it. So what if other kids are doing it — if other kids were jumping off a cliff, would you let yours jump?

      i’m really bad at quoting so i’m just going to summerize……they have witnesses that heard gunshots…..they have witnesses that saw a guy described as 35 something, american indian, 6ft tall with a black ponytail standing next to his truck on the county road near where the girls were found….they didn’t say if it was before or after the shots were heard. They said he is only a person of interest that could be a witness….they said he was parked in the middle of the road outside his truck…..they said they have over 100 leads……..reward is just over $30k now…….i was thinking that if the girls were shot multiple times that SOMEONE woulda heard it…..right?

      What about these witnesses? I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl, but why not two suspects? While this dude or whoever could have had two guns on them, I think there were two shooters.

      I’m just wondering if the “witnesses” could be the offenders since they didn’t name or say anything about a second person, if initial reports are correct about more than one attacker?

      Well, there’s that, too, y’know. I mean, it seems very likely that this guy is either just a witness, or one of two shooters, or doesn’t exist because he was made up by some people who know what happened.

      It’s possible, though, that one guy was holding two guns. What if he shot each girl with the first gun one after the other, very fast, then pulled out the other gun to finish the job at closer range?

      If the girls were shot twice each in the chest with the large caliber weapon, fell, and then were shot in the head with the smaller weapon, that smacks of military training and one perpetrator could have pulled that off easily, even with two moving targets.

      Right and then the obvious question remains….why?? I mean some native american dude is stopped in the middle of the road and sees 2 little girls and thinks “hey, I feel like shooting them with both my guns just for shits and giggles”? This is a weird one and it seems like they died in a spot it would have taken them 30 minutes to walk to right? They were only gone 30 minutes before grandpa went looking and found them. I just feel like something isn’t fitting here but I hope they find the person or persons soon.

      Now that’s what I’m thinking, as well. Sure, its possible one man had two guns. But I’m leaning with the “one of two shooters” or “someone who doesn’t exist at all” versions of the story. What better alibi than, “Officer, officer I saw the whole thing.” I mean, I understand that this wasn’t the exact witness account, but you get what I’m saying.

      And, Imp, your military comment is dead on. My gut is just leading me away from “one shooter, two guns”. I really think two people pulled this crime. Now, I don’t have any reason why I feel that way. I just do.

      And a point momof4 made, the girls usually went for walks together. They had walked to this place before. If grandpa or no one else in the family DID NOT hear guns shots, then why, with the girls only being gone 30 minutes did grandpa get so concerned and start looking for them? I wouldn’t have expected for girls going for a walk to be back in 30 minutes, anyway, unless they had specific instructions to return that quickly. So what gives with that?

      Just a good a theory as any. I’ll tell you this, though. Either this was COMPLETELY random, or this is one investigative team that is ill-equipped to handle this type of crime.

      I just cannot imagine that this much time has passed and NO ONE has talked which to me, seems to rule out any teens just fucking around with guns. But who knows?

      And Tia Poklemba and Luis Ramizez. I know the trial of his killers is going on, but no news reports. As for poor Tia, I think her killer went to Mexico and disappeared. It seems to be the new place for killers to run.

      I hope they catch these little girls’ killer. It would be so awful there was no justice in any of these three cases.

      no new news locally, this case is only 6 months old..it isn’t cold yet. i have always been confused about how exact the details given for the person of interest seemed to be, yet the witness could not say whether the vehicle was a chevy or a ford. i hope some media exposure returns to bring light to these murders.

      Can you believe this happened a year ago? Still unsolved. Still no suspects.

      Seems like this has been forgotten by the police, maybe not but it's frustrating because the killers are still out there somewhere, probably pretty close. Still praying for justice for Taylor and Skyla

      There always seems to be a certain case that sticks out in someone’s mind more than the others, this is the one for me. It may not be the worst, but I have not be able to get this one out of my mind. So someone was arrested (one person). He said that he saw “two monsters come at him” and shot them…. They are seeking the death penalty..  Fingers crossed!
