       OSBI identifies Oklahoma woman found in shallow grave 14 years
       ago, death investigated as homicide
       OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation
       agents identified a woman who was found partially buried near
       Lake Thunderbird 14 years ago.
       Agents identified the woman as Angela Mason. Several fishermen
       found her remains partially decomposed in a shallow grave at
       120th and Alameda on Aug. 31, 2008. A park ranger called for
       OSBI assistance after the discovery.
       She was 25 at the time, according to OSBI officials.
       “It is a great day when we can give a victim their name back,”
       said Aungela Spurlock, OSBI Director. “Utilizing Forensic
       Genetic Genealogy is an investment and is unfortunately not
       possible to use on every cold case. But for Angela, the
       investment paid off. Now our team will continue to work to get
       Angela the justice she deserves.”
       Retiring OSBI Director Rick Adam approved the case for genetic
       genealogy testing in August 2021 after all investigative leads
       were exhausted.
       OSBI Forensic Science Center criminalists sent DNA from the
       remains to Parabon Nanolabs in an effort to locate relatives.
       Parabon returned results in March, identifying a possible
       relative.
       Special Agents asked the relative for a DNA sample to compare to
       the victim. The results positively identified Anglea Mason as
       the deceased.
       OSBI special agents and analysts have since intensified their
       investigation to determine what happened to Mason. They are
       investigating her death as a homicide. They returned in June to
       the location where the remains were found to reprocess the
       scene. Agents located and collected additional evidence.
       Authorities made numerous attempts to identify Mason after the
       remains were found years ago, including releasing images of her
       distinctive tattoo, entering her information into the National
       Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), adding her case
       to the OSBI Cold Case Cards, asking other law enforcement
       agencies to review their missing persons cases and releasing
       forensic sketches.
       A sketch released in May 2021 utilized advanced composite
       software to generate the image.
       The Oklahoma Medical Examiner believed the remains were those of
       a white female, possibly with Native American heritage, who was
       approximately 5’5”, between 30 and 45 years old and had at least
       one child. She was believed to have been buried in the shallow
       grave between three and 15 months of the remains being
       discovered.
       Mason was 5’6” and was a registered Cherokee Nation citizen. She
       attended Putnam City West High School, was married twice and had
       four children. She was last seen in Moore in Spring 2008.
       “If you knew Angela Marie (Richards) Mason or have any
       information on her death, please contact the OSBI at (800)
       522-8017 or email tips@osbi.ok.gov. You can remain anonymous,”
       OSBI agents said.
