Cold Case Murder of Owachige Elice Osceola
Case Name: Murder of Owachige Elice Osceola
Case Description: Owachige Elice Osceola was found murdered in Norman on September 25, 2013. She was twenty-seven years old.
After friends couldn’t get in touch with Owachige, and some had reportedly received a strange facebook message, police conducting a welfare check at Owachige’s home in Norman found her door kicked in and things inside the home ransacked. All of her bedding was off the bed and on the floor with Owachige found badly decomposed, facedown on the bedroom floor with a blanket covering her body. What seems like something that should be clear cut became anything but clear after the medical examiner would list her cause of death to be undetermined when conducting her autopsy. Even though there were injuries to the back of her neck consistent with strangulation.
In 2019 a second autopsy conducted by another state’s medical examiner’s office stated there was no doubt that Owachige had been murdered, however when this new autopsy was presented to the district attorney- they stated they would stand by the original ruling of the Oklahoma medical examiner. No charges have been brough against anyone in the murder of Owachige, even though that strange facebook message that had friends concerned read “Moose is tryna KM” leading her friends to believe the message meant “Moose is trying to kill me”. While Owachige did in fact know someone called Moose, they have apparently been eliminated as a suspect. While there is a prime suspect in her case- they still haven’t been charged.

Moose was questioned, provided an alibi and is no longer considered a suspect. Robert “cocaine Rob” Ross was is the prime suspect. He was seen coming in and leaving her apartment the morning of September 25th. He had her debit card the day before and used it at a casino, where video surveillance saw him and a female suspect withdrawing money from the card at an atm. He was seen entering her apartment around 5:53am 9/25/2014, Owachige made two 911 calls at 6:03 am and 6:08 am. The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner has not changed the cause of death, therefore is delaying justice in this case.

This is the latest article I’ve been able to find about it but still looks like there isn’t much intel other than mention of a “Cocaine Rob” who was at Owachige’s house that day…he seems pretty suspect, why hasn’t he been brought to court?
