Murder victim. Denice Haraway was a beautiful, kind, loving and gentle soul and one of the two victim's, who's tragic demise was detailed in the John Grisham, 2006 book: "The Innocent Man" (his only non-fiction book) and a subsequent 2018 Netflix documentary, of the same title. Both the book and the film adaptation, meticulously outlined the tragic events surrounding the ghastly murders of two young Ada, Oklahoma woman and the many suspects, and possible improprieties of some authorities. On April 28, 1984, Haraway, a newlywed and college student at East Central University, was working the night shift at the convenience store McAnally's, as a store clerk, when she went missing. At the time, police reported that a customer found the convenience store empty and $167 was missing from the cash register. Her abduction caused panic in the small town, where just two years earlier, a young woman named Debbie Carter had been raped and brutally murdered in her own home. Denice's skeletal remains were later discovered by a hunter, in neighboring county, just over two years after her disappearance. The coroner's autopsy report declared her death was the result of a gunshot wound to the back of the head. Just 3 months prior to her discovery, two young men had been tried and convicted for her murder. However, many disputed inconsistencies in the case, amplified by the national attention drawn to the story by the book, have since opened up their convictions to speculation, leaving many to doubt their guilt. More so ever, the facts of the case, as well as possible questionable conduct of detectives & prosecution, regarding the controversial confessions, have opened the case to recent intensified legal maneuvering.
