A manhunt is currently underway for Stacy Lee Drake, a 50-year-old man believed to be connected to multiple homicides and carjackings in Oklahoma. Drake, who is considered armed and dangerous, was last seen in Morrilton, Arkansas, where a suspected stolen vehicle was discovered Tuesday night.
Drake is wanted for a number of serious crimes in multiple jurisdictions, including aggravated robbery, carjacking and murder. He was last seen walking near a motel in Morrilton, according to the Arkansas Department of Public Safety.
The search for Drake began after the bodies of a man and a woman were discovered Tuesday evening at a business near State Highway 64 and South 4670 Road in Gans, Oklahoma. The victims, who had injuries consistent with homicide, were taken to the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner's Office to identify them and establish the cause and manner of death.
Investigators identified Drake as a person of interest early in the investigation. He was initially reported to be wanted in connection with three homicides, but has since been upgraded to multiple homicides.
On Tuesday night, a vehicle believed to have been stolen by Drake was found approximately 124 miles away in Morrilton, Arkansas. Since then, authorities in Arkansas have been actively searching for him.
Drake is believed to have bought camping gear in Morrilton and is believed to still be in the area. Arkansas State Police have urged the public to exercise caution, advising anyone who sees Drake to stay away from him and call 911 immediately.
Drake is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, 5'11″ tall and weighing 185 pounds. His last known address is in Birmingham, Alabama. Authorities are appealing for anyone with information about Drake's whereabouts or any details relevant to the case to come forward.
