Eight-year-old Timothy O'Bryan died after eating a cyanide-laced Pixy Stix on Halloween night. The killer wasn't some mysterious stranger handing out poisoned treats. It was his own father. The case helped cement America's fear of poisoned Halloween candy.

🎃 BaKarry Bailey — Georgia, 2006
A knock came at an apartment door, followed by the familiar words, "Trick or treat!" But when the door opened, masked men forced their way inside, and BaKarry Bailey was murdered. A harmless Halloween tradition had become the perfect disguise for a deadly ambush.

🔪 Nightmare on Aspen Meadow — Texas, 2016
What began as a Halloween costume party in San Antonio ended with five people suffering gunshot wounds. Witnesses described one of the gunmen as wearing a Freddy Krueger costume. That night, the horror wasn't confined to a movie screen.
These are just THREE of the real cases featured in the Halloween section of my newest book, The Darkest Season: True Crime in the American South from Halloween to Christmas.

🍂 From Halloween costumes and Thanksgiving tables to presents beneath Christmas trees, this collection explores the darker side of the holiday season through actual cases of murder, disappearance, and tragedy across the American South.
📖 For the holiday mood-reader who loves true crime. 🎃🦃🎄

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced yesterday that Terrance Latrell Richardson, age 38, of Ada, Oklahoma, entered a guilty plea to one count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon with Intent to do Bodily Harm in Indian Country, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and one count of Use, Carry, Brandish, and Discharge of a Fi***rm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence, punishable by a minimum of 10 years consecutive to any other sentence imposed, and a $250,000 fine.

The Indictment alleged that on February 16, 2026, Richardson assaulted the victim with a dangerous weapon – a fi***rm -- with intent to do bodily harm, and that Richardson knowingly used, carried, brandished, and discharged a fi***rm during the assault.

The crimes occurred in Pontotoc County, within the boundaries of the Chickasaw Nation Reservation, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

The charges arose from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Ada Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi***rms and Explosives.

The Honorable Gerald L. Jackson, Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.

A U.S. District Court Judge will determine the sentence to be imposed after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Richardson will remain in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lewis M. Reagan represented the United States.

Many people know Othram for using DNA and genetic genealogy to help identify people — both victims and perpetrators — in long-unsolved cases. But now, investigators do not have to wait years for a case to go cold before considering those tools. With Sorenson Forensics now part of the company, Othram says an agency can bring evidence to it at the start of an investigation.

The Homecoming of Ammon Reich: Released After 21 Years

Twenty-one years after a collision killed 18-year-old East Central University football player Joseph T***n and catastrophically injured Dennis Scales, the man convicted in the case is home. For one family, that means a reunion they once believed would never happen. For another, there can never be one.

On Saturday, October 3, Brittany’s Bridge will be held at the Bronson Brookside Library in Tulsa. This is a networking and support event created for families who are new to the world of cold cases, families who have been carrying that weight for years, and the advocates who walk beside them.

The goal is simple: connection, support, information, resources, and the chance to meet other people who truly understand how isolating this process can be.

There will also be discussion about Oklahoma’s new cold-case-review law, SB 1636, which takes effect November 1, 2026. The law creates a formal process allowing certain loved ones of cold-case victims to request a case-file review, with timelines and communication requirements built into that process.

Brittany’s Bridge: Networking for Homicide & Missing Cold Case Families
Saturday, October 3, 2026
12 PM–4 PM
Bronson Brookside Library – Meeting Room
4607 S. Madison Pl., Tulsa, OK 74105

The event is being held in honor of Brittany Phillips by Dr. Maggie Zingman, and the 22 years her family has spent fighting to keep her voice and her case alive, but this gathering is for all homicide and missing-person cold-case families who need support, connection, and a place to be heard.

Please share this with anyone you think may benefit. Sometimes one connection, one resource, or one conversation can make this road feel a little less lonely. 🦋
