BRISTOW — Almost 21 years ago, in a hole dug for a septic tank, the bodies of two Oklahoma City women and a 6-year-old girl were dumped after being killed.
The first arrest in the triple homicide case was made Thursday, two weeks after the skeletal remains were found 8 feet deep at a rural grassy field near Jennings.
Charged with being an accessory to first-degree murder after the fact is the property's former owner, Grover Prewitt Jr., 60, of Bristow.
Prewitt admitted that he called a backhoe driver to fill in the septic tank hole at the direction of his mother after the two women and girl went missing, investigators reported.
