Oklahoma Girl's Remains May Have Been Found in Milton-Freewater Storage Shed

MILTON-FREEWATER -- A death in Oklahoma is making headlines in our area. Tuesday, Oklahoma investigators told Action News that human remains were found in a storage shed in Milton-Freewater that could be the body of 11-year-old Cheyenne Wolf.
Investigators believe the girl's parents buried, unburied, and re-buried her bones multiple times in the past year. Court papers state that in August 2008, they unlawfully removed the body of Cheyenne Noell Wolf from property in the 1900 block of North Philadelphia Road in Bokchito. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation began investigating last month after a detective from the Ardmore Police Department told OSBI Agent, David Houston he had received a report about the disposal of the victim's body. According to an affidavit, Tricia J. Wells stated that her father, Edward Davis, told her that his sister, Denise Wolf, was involved in disposing of Cheyenne's body after she had been killed at their Oklahoma residence. During the investigation, Houston discovered that Abel Wolf, his wife Denise Wolf, plus their daughters Sara Elizabeth Wolf, Cheyenne Wolf and Skylar Marlene Wolf had previously lived at the North Philadelphia Road home. On June 30, Houston spoke by telephone with Davis, a resident of Milton-Freewater, Ore. Davis, the affidavit states, said he is Denise's brother and that when she lived in Oklahoma, she found one of Cheyenne's siblings kicking Cheyenne, who was already dead. Davis told Houston that the body was then taken out and disposed of. On July 2, Houston interviewed Mr. Wolf by telephone in Havre, Mont. According to the affidavit, he said the family was eating dinner in April 2008, and they became upset because Cheyenne was not eating. Mr. Wolf told Houston that he went outside to smoke and heard a "thump" from inside the mobile home. According to affidavit, Mr. Wolf said he went back inside and observed that Cheyenne was not acting normal. He examined her pupils with a flashlight, and they appeared normal. He told Houston that he thought Cheyenne was tired, so he put her to bed and did not check on her before he went to work the next morning. Mr. Wolf said that Mrs. Wolf called and said he needed to come home and when he arrived, she said that Cheyenne had "passed on." According to the OSBI, the Wolfs discussed what to do with the body and agreed that they would not report her death. Mr. Wolf put the body into a sleeping bag and then into a large plastic tub. The body was placed in a shed on the property until it began to smell. The affidavit states that Mr. Wolf then buried the body under the front deck of the Philadelphia Road residence, where it remained until the family moved to Havre. Before the move, Mr. Wolf dug up Cheyenne's body and placed it in three large Ziplock bags, and then put the bags into plastic tubs, according to the OSBI. Mr. Wolf told Houston they moved to Havre in August 2008 and the body was placed in a garage until January of this year. A sibling ran away and was placed into a hospital, according to the affidavit, and the Wolfs feared that Cheyenne's death would be revealed. They then moved the body to a home in Milton-Freewater and put it in an old chicken house, the affidavit states. Mr. Wolf told Houston that Mrs. Wolf found out that her brother had been going through their things and that she then moved the body to a storage building in the Milton-Freewater area. An FBI agent told Houston that Mr. Wolf had put Cheyenne's remains in two plastic tubs with black X's marked on them. OSBI Spokesperson, Jessica Brown said the cause of Cheyenne's death is not known and under investigation. The remains were found and Brown said that a medical examiner in Oregon will be conducting an autopsy. |
