A murder charge against a suspect, accused of killing a Pauls Valley teenager missing since 2019, was recently dismissed because his alleged crime occurred on Native American land.
The decision for Tanner Washington, 26, came last week in a Pontotoc County court as a judge ordered he remain in jail for 30 days to give federal officials time to see if theyâre going to take the case from here.
Washingtonâs murder case came after 17-year-old Faith Lindsey of Pauls Valley went missing.
