Four Oklahoma men who had gone missing while on a bicycle ride were shot and their dismembered bodies were discarded into a river, police say.
All four had been shot, and identifying them was slowed because their bodies had been dismembered, Prentice said.
Investigators base the belief on the word of a witness who had been invited to go along as the men planned to"hit a lick big enough for all of them,” Prentice said, using slang for a profitable criminal act.Okmulgee Police Dept."Nothing remarkable was observed inside the salvage yard, but evidence of a violent event was discovered on an adjoining property," Prentice said.
A majority of the remains were found Friday, but some body parts weren't recovered until Sunday and Monday morning, police said. The men’s bikes haven't been recovered. "The additional information about the dismemberment was obviously a shock," Prentice said."They were very distraught."
