D-Day Vet beaten and his wife killed in Tulsa home
Posted by SLC on 4/22 at 8:34 am
Pretty shitty people who do this. I think this info is about a month old, my be Germans. Have we seen this reported on the national news? This seems worse than the over-publicized case in Florida.

101st Airborne vet injured, wife killed in their Tulsa home.

quote:

BY PHILIP GREY - THE (CLARKSVILLE, TENN.) LEAF-CHRONICLE | POSTED : SATURDAY APR 21, 2012 12:12:47 EDT

The 101st Airborne Division Association is asking its members and other Screaming Eagles veterans to step up and help one of their own — a 90-year-old D-Day veteran who nearly died as a result of a brutal home invasion last month.

Bob Strait of Tulsa, Okla., was hospitalized after a vicious March 14 robbery that killed his wife, 85-year-old Nancy Strait. She was beaten and raped in the attack. The couple, who met on a blind date on Thanksgiving Day 1946, had been married for 65 years. Police have one suspect in custody, but they believe as many as four others took part in the home invasion.

To donate Send checks to the Nancy Strait and Bob Strait Support Trust, c/o Arvest Bank, Tulsa Branch, 502 S. Main St., Tulsa, OK 74103. Please include on the check’s memo line that is for the Straits’ account.

“He wouldn’t accept veterans aid for anything after the war,” Gay said, “since he felt like he was only doing his job, like everyone else.” “He put his life on the line back then, and he deserves to be taken care of now. We’re still trying to get him to accept some kind of government assistance, but during the war, he wouldn’t even accept a Purple Heart because he felt that his injuries weren’t severe enough.”

yea, it's old news. not sure about national news, but it was heavily covered locally. really horrible story. actually was a lady who works with my wifes grandparents.

they got one guy in custody, but I remember the police thinking there were others involved. Haven't heard of them catching anyone else. search google news and you'll probably find a pic of the suspect easily.

That fricking thug POS probably doesn't even know what D-Day or WWII are. I say tie him up to the back of a truck by the feet and gun it 100 mph.

Interesting how this "robbery" (really a robbery, rape, murder) hasn't been covered much by the Tulsa media but it happened when the serial killers were on their shooting spree. Tulsa media is a joke, The Tulsa World flat out sucks.

What a terrible way for such a long (65 years) marriage to end. I am saddened for them.

Usually if something is covered heavily in Tulsa, we hear about it here. Tulsa is the closest metropolitan area to NWA, my family goes there quite a bit and are fairly tied into what is going on there. Do you have some links or more insight into this case? Has the police put enough resources to fining all of the perps? Do you know where the Staits lived (I assume north Tulsa)?

My sister moved out of Tulsa to Broken Arrow b/c of the crime rate. She's also close to completing her training for a concealed weapons permit, she feels that unsafe there.
TIA.

It's really, really, really, hard not to be racist when you see shite like this.

I get it but I know some really great people of various races and know some terrible people of my race.

Why does race have to factor into prosecuting a crime? Those who instigate race wars/race baiting have the most to profit from it. It's really stupid.

Wtf were these idiots thinking? Why do people do shite like this? Just ruined this mans life and hurt many others and ended their own. Need to give these bastards a good torture before they get the shot.
