Arkansas State Police (ASP) are currently searching for Stacy Lee Drake, a 50-year-old man from Alabama who is wanted for three murders in Oklahoma as well as several other charges. The authorities have labeled Drake as “armed and dangerous,” and he was last spotted outside a motel in Morrilton, Arkansas, which is around an hour’s drive northwest of Little Rock.
According to ASP, Drake is wanted in connection with three homicides in Oklahoma that are linked to two carjackings. Deputies from the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma discovered the bodies of a male and a female at a business near State Highway 64 and South 4670 Road on Tuesday evening. The victims were taken to the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner’s office for identification and to determine the cause of death.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) was called in to assist with the case and identified Drake as a person of interest. A car that Drake had allegedly stolen was found in Morrilton, but investigators are still in the process of locating him.
In addition to the murder charges in Oklahoma, Drake is also wanted for robbery, carjacking, and other offenses in various jurisdictions. He is described as a 5-foot-11 White male with brown hair and eyes, weighing approximately 185 pounds. His last known address was in Birmingham, Alabama.
ASP has issued a warning for the public to avoid approaching Drake if spotted and to contact 911 immediately. This remains an ongoing investigation, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
