Man sought in quadruple homicide arrested
A man being sought in a Memorial Day quadruple homicide in Oklahoma City
was arrested Thursday in McAlester.
Alvis Earl Sanders Jr., 23, of Midwest City, is being held on an accessory
to murder complaint in the Pittsburg County jail, police said.
An arrest warrant had been issued for Sanders earlier Thursday. Oklahoma
City police are still seeking Daniel Michael Ashcraft, 26, address
unknown, on an identical complaint.
Both are suspected of hiding a van in Indiana, said city police Sgt.
Charles Phillips. The van may have been used to transport the killer or
killers to and from the crime scene.
A 3rd man, Arthur James Wilder, 24, of Midwest City, was jailed Tuesday on
an accessory complaint.
Memorial Day, 3 men and a woman were found dead outside a series of
trailer homes near 1800 SE 29.
James "Donnie" Swindle Jr., 49; Amy J. Wright, 26; Terry L. Smith, 56; and
James D. Alderson, 57, were discovered after partygoers called 911 to
report hearing gunshots.
Police recovered 37 bullet casings from the crime scene. The ammunition
was of a type used in assault rifles. An assault rifle was located when a
search warrant was executed at an unknown location.
Phillips said Wilder, Sanders and Ashcraft may have known the victims.
