The local authorities are currently indicating that this was indeed a homicide as Daniels body was “staged” meaning it was moved into an unnatural position after the slaying. There was no word at press as to how Daniels body was positioned. “Multiple sharp force injuries” were found in the preliminary autopsy, but local law enforcement are declining further details and motive of the crime.

Bret Burns, county district attorney stated “We talked about security issues within their churches and their congregations”, referring to a meeting that was held in the city to address local clergy about security measures. Interestingly enough the D.A. nor local law enforcement will speak as to why the meeting was held with just local Pastors or what types of impending threats they might face. Burns, according the AP did not rule out the possibility that the killer specifically targeted a pastor or a church. At press time, there were still no arrests made, and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has offered a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
