On Lifetime today there was a case in Oklahoma where a mother and father were killed and their trailer burned down with them in it. Two teenage girls were missing. One, the daughter of the couple, the other a friend. Has this case ever been solved? The girls found?

That would be the Ashley Freeman & Lauria Bible case. As far as I know they have never been found nor have there been any arrests in the case. I recently learned that a convicted murderer, Tommy Lynn Sells, apparently confessed to murdering them and said he knew where they were buried. I must also add that police are skeptical that he is telling the truth as he has confessed to many homicides. He recently confessed to the murder of a young boy that took place very close to where I live. The boy's mother had been convicted (many believe wrongly) of his murder but has since been granted a new trial based on a technicality not related to Sells' confession. Police tend to eye this confession a little more carefully than the Freeman & Bible case as he was known to be in this general area during the time of the murder and some of the things he said match up to some of the things that the mother had claimed.
