Fugitive and innocent man killed in Tulsa wreck

Tulsa, Okla. Two men died in a Saturday night car crash near Tulsa. Thomas Moore, a convicted murderer and fugitive, and Ercell Miller, 30, an innocent helicopter pilot, were killed when their late model car ran a T intersection, crashed through a sewer, and overturned in a creek bed. Miller held a Central America passport and was not a criminal. Moore was named to the FBI wanted list. The two shared a rooming house. Miller had worked for Allied Helicopter Co and planned to take a job in Central America. A fellow roomer said they met only Saturday night.
