From the TulsaWorld, 4/9/1974: "Suburban OC Man Apparently Slain"
"The body of a 66 year old suburban Forest Park man was found in his home Monday,
and police said he apparently had been murdered about two months ago.
He was identified as Walter Roy Power. An electrical cord was wrapped around Power's neck.
A policeman discovered the body after being called to the scene by Cecil Soerries,
of Bethany, Oklahoma, Power's son in law. Soerries and his wife had gone to Power's home
after they failed to make contact with him several times since February."
