Unsolved Homicides – Jack & Elaine Denney
On Christmas of 2007, the bodies of Jack & Elaine Denney were found in their home near the border of Cherokee and Mayes counties south of Locust Grove, Oklahoma. Sometime between December 23, when they were last seen alive, and December 25, when they were discovered by their daughter, the couple had been shot to death. The victims had been shot in the head and torso.
There had been a wave of burglaries around the time of their deaths, yet investigators could find no signs of a forced entry or struggle.
Jack Denney, 65, had retired in December after 27 years as a superintendent of mechanical maintenance at the Grand River Dam Authority. Elaine Denney, 66, was a life-long homemaker who enjoyed making quilts for friends and family. The Denney’s were parents and grandparents known for their generosity and enthusiasm.
