The murder of Tulsa businessman Roger Wheeler in 1981 was one of the most sensational crimes in the city’s history, and one that has been examined in dozens of articles, books and TV programs.
The latest book on the case comes with a unique cachet, in that it is a collaboration between David Wheeler, the son of the victim, and Mike Huff, a former homicide detective for the Tulsa Police Department who spent more than 30 years working, and ultimately solving, the murder of Roger Wheeler.
They, along with co-author and local historian Lawrence Yadon, will talk about the case and their book about it, “Killing My Father: The Inside Story of the Biggest FBI Corruption Scandal in History,” 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Museum of Tulsa History, 2
