Kidnap murder cases spark arrests in Tulsa and Osage County
Tulsa police hold three men and seek two others in the Earl Bell kidnapping and presumed murder. Kurk Johnson faces extortion charges. Bell was abducted Monday from a downtown cafe and found in Osage County. Also in Oklahoma City a bill to create a new economic and community affairs department advances, while inmates in El Reno are partly acquitted in a separate murder case. A banking extension measure and a $15,000 Tulsa reward for Calvert kidnapping leads surface. Former Gov. Hall fundraising letters emerge amid bribery conviction appeals.
