Published in the Oklahoma Today magazine, Winter 1996 issue:
Paul G Broxterman, 42, of Edmond; husband of Cammy Broxterman, father of Aaron, Jared, and Casandra Broxterman of Peoria, AZ; son of David and Peggy Boxterman of las Vegas, NV; brother of Mark, David, and Janna Broxterman; criminal investigator, Office of Inspector General, HUD.
April 19, 1995, was Paul Broxterman's third day on the job at the OKC office (his family had been in Edmond just a week), yet Paul, a graduate of the FBI academy, was already enjoying his new post, said his mother, Peggy Broxterman.
A former undercover agent and special investigator with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the IRS and a one-time private investigator, Paul transferred to HUD shortly after he and his son were approached by a drug dealer in a Phoenix store (Paul's undercover disguises were so authentic, he often had to apologize for his appearance at church, said his mother).
A devout Mormon, Paul was a genealogist who had traced his maternal and paternal roots back to the Deliverance (a ship that pre-dates the Mayflower) on one side and to an Indian princess and a French fur trapper on the other. His Potawatomi and Scottish heritage shaped his life. (He had been active in Potawatomi tribal activities in California, Arizona, and Oklahoma; bagpipes played "Amazing Grace" at his funeral.)
The family-oriented outdoorsman hiked, picnicked, and toured the country with family. Two years ago, he took them on a 7-state trip identical to one of his grandfather had taken him on as a boy. When the family reached Topeka, Kansas, (Paul considered it home, having spent a few childhood years there), he took everyone to visit his grandmother's grave; the experience moved Paul to buy his own plot there shortly thereafter.
Before Paul left Phoenix, said his mother, her son told a Native American friend he was "coming home" to Oklahoma, though he had never lived there in his life.
