NORMAN, Oklahoma -
Norman police are conducting a death investigation after residents of a home near the University of Oklahoma campus found a decomposed body in their basement.
The Oklahoma Medical Examiner’s Office determined the remains belonged to Margarita Sandoval, who would have been 22 years old when police searched the basement in May.
In a search warrant, Norman Police Detective Sean Judy wrote they found the remains in a black box “wrapped in numerous layers of a thick plastic, possibly 20-30 layers.”
After cutting off the wrapping, Judy wrote officers saw “a liquid leaking from the box,” followed by “insects escaping.” Once the officers smelled “an odor of decomposition,” they seized the box.

Three men charged in Norman animal cruelty case

NORMAN, Oklahoma (KOCO) Three men have been charged in an animal cruelty case out of Norman.
Hundreds of exotic animals, including kangaroos, camels and ostriches, were found severely malnourished – some to the point of eating the bark off trees.
In late April, authorities removed more than 350 animals from the East Norman property while executing a search warrant.
Police said most of the animals were deprived of food and water and lived in deplorable conditions.
“We’re talking about animals as small as cockatoos, various bird species and reptiles, all the way up to camels,” Norman Police spokeswoman Sarah Jensen said. “Investigators began to notice reoccurring trends with all of these animals that they were extremely malnourished a lot of them were dehydrated they didn’t have access to water that wasn’t covered in mold.”
