Disturbing details released in murder of Oklahoma woman alleged lover

TULSA, Okla. (KFOR) – Two people wanted in connection with the murder of an Oklahoma woman have been taken into custody in Arkansas.

On January 4, officers from the Tulsa Police Department were called to a home on block 3800 of S. 28 W. Ave. to check the welfare status of a resident.

When police arrived on the scene, they found 29-year-old Sarah Maguire dead of her head trauma.

Investigators soon realized that Maguire’s car and other personal items were missing at the scene.

Maguire’s car was finally found in Fayetteville, Arkansas with two people sleeping inside it.

Authorities in Arkansas arrested Brinlee Denison and Nicholas Johnson on complaints of auto theft and first-degree murder.

According to an affidavit presumably for a reason, Johnson said he and Denison were in an intimate relationship. However, he said Denison was also romantically involved with the victim, which made him jealous.

Johnson told detectives that Denison knew they were going to kill Maguire, and that she helped plan the crime.

In a disturbing twist, investigators say Denison and Johnson became intimate in the victim’s bed after attacking her with a crowbar.

“He said he could still hear the victim in the living room struggling to live,” the affidavit said.

Johnson told detectives that Denison took various electronics and credit cards from the victim’s home and used them multiple times on his way to Arkansas.
