Faith Phillips and Shaun Perkins, lifelong Okies, explore all things Okie Noir, dark, mysterious, bizarre, sad and humorous. We like this stock photo that came with this website template, so we are leaving it there for now. We are not, however, camera shy.
In Episode 12, we discuss the missing persons case of Sherryl Jacquot, the first in a series of cases we will be discussing that feature Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. Sherryl went missing from her home in Stilwell, Oklahoma, in 1999. Locals to the area all appear to know who was responsible for Sherryl’s fate, but no one is talking. Hear about her case and how the co-host Faith Phillips, the Cherokee Nation and others are bringing awareness to complex cases involving domestic violence, violence against indigenous women and other challenges.
