Dale Childress was considered a potential witness to the murders of Jennifer Sudar and Amanda Douglas in 2014 in Tulsa.
Several months later, Childress was found dead in Kansas. That's when Sedgwick County detectives reached out to Tulsa homicide for help.
Soon after, detectives say the case could've easily gone cold without the expertise of Tulsa Police.
"They were just very impressed with how quickly Tulsa PD kinda enwrapped themselves in out detectives and started in with what do you need to know and how can we help. And it lasted for several months. And it never wavered or anything," said Sheriff Jeff Easter of the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.
