Oklahoma Murder: Suspect Kills Neighbor, Cooks Heart With Potatoes and Fed to Family
A suspect for the Oklahoma murder case reportedly admitted to killing his family members and a neighbor. The suspect was identified as Lawrence Paul Anderson and was denied bond on Tuesday.
Reports said that Anderson had been arrested for the deaths of three people and the assault of another. Police said that Anderson killed his neighbor on Feb. 9, then killed his uncle and four-year-old niece.
Anderson was also said to have stabbed his aunt in both eyes. However, his aunt survived the attack, according to a Crime Online report.
One Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent said in an arrest warrant that after killing his neighbor, Anderson cut the woman's heart out and force-fed it to his family.
The agent said that Anderson took back the heart to Chickasha.
"He cooked the heart with potatoes to feed to his family to release the demons," the agent was quoted in a report.
The victims have been identified as family members, Leo Pye, 67; Kaeos Yates, 4; and Delsie Pye, 64. The Neighbor was Andrea Lynn Blankenship, 41.

The Incident
Chickasha police arrived at the scene after receiving a 911 call but hung up. Authorities traced the call back to Pye's home.
Police forced their wait into the residence when they heard a woman inside crying out for help. Leon Pye and Kaeos were pronounced dead at the scene, while first responders rushed Delsie Pye to the hospital after she was maimed during the attack.
Police then arrested Anderson.
His alleged killing spree occured just a month after he was released from prison 16 years early. Anderson was sentenced back in 2017 and was set to serve 20 years in prison for drug and firearm charges.
However, he was released after Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt commuted his time, according to a Metro report.
He was released from prison in January and was staying with his uncle along with his two other victims. Officials said that Anderson was 'throwing up in the living room into some pillows' when they arrived at the scene.
Anderson confessed going to Blankenship's house and used his shoulder to knock in the back door.
Investigators told a judge that agents wanted to collect pots, pans, and any utensils for cooking from the Pye residence as evidence. The prosecutors also plan to charge Anderson next Tuesday and have said that death penalty is in the options, according to Grady County District Attorney Jason Hicks.
Anderson sobbed in court during his first court appearance on Tuesday. He told the judge that he does not want bail.
"I don't want no bail, your honor. I don't want no bail," Anderson was quoted in a Daily Mail report.
A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $4,000 as of Wednesday to cover Blankenship's funeral costs.
Meanwhile, investigators are probing to identify whether Anderson was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crime.
The four-year-old's parents talked about their daughter's death in an interview, saying that parents should tell their kids they love them.
