"The Owasso Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying the person shown in this photograph. This person is not a suspect in a crime, but needs to be identified as soon as possible so her well being can be established," said Owasso Police Chief Dan Yancey.

Anyone with information about the identity of the woman should contact Detective Jason Woodruff at 272-COPS (272-2677).

Quick update...

Tulsa News Channel 8 ran the picture on their evening news broadcast and their website has a story posted.

As far as I know, the broadcast has not generated any valid leads.

Here's the link and text of the Tulsa News 8 story...

Police: Woman Is Vital To Ongoing Investigation
posted 11:24 am Thu May 15, 2008 - Owasso

Police in Owasso need your help to find a young woman.

They are concerned about the welfare of the woman seen in this picture. She is in her early to mid 20s.

Police say she could play a vital role in an ongoing investigation. Details are being kept confidential, but officers do say she is not suspected of any crime. They simply want to talk to her.

If you have any information, please call 272-COPS.

It appears from the angle of the light and the arrangement of her hair/clothing that she is lying down flat, and the photo has been rotated 90 degrees to make it easier to recognize her. And yes, it appears to be a cropped still from a video - a very sobering sign. The chances are very good that if so, this video was found with a suspect or was taken from the internet portraying suspicious activity...

I agree with your assessment. Also, I believe that what appears to be a "porthole" or "airplane window" is really just the edge of a white pillow protruding from a pillow case.

I offer up my prayers for this girl. I wish the police would tell us more about the circumstances surrounding their inquiry; it would help us to know where to look.

These situations are difficult for police. They have to balance the urgency of finding the person with the importance of protecting their privacy. The investigation appears to be focusing on the Owasso/Tulsa area, but the person could be from somewhere else in Oklahoma, or out of state.

I believe Tulsa Channel 8 KTUL will run the story again at 4, 5, and 6PM today.

Nothing has changed. There have been no (valid) responses or leads since the photo was released. They are still investigating...
