Okmulgee Police find human remains while searching for a missing, presumed dead, woman.

Investigators arrested Kevin Sweat on August 4th, they say he admitted to killing his girlfriend.

Ashley Taylor's family reported her missing on July 29th.  They told investigators they last talked to Ashley on July 15th when she told them she was going to Louisiana with her boyfriend, Kevin Sweat, to get married.  Ashley told her mother she'd call after they got married but never did.

Sweat told investigators he and Ashley had a fight on the way to Louisiana and he let her out of the car on Highway 75 and hadn't seen her since.  Upon further questioning investigators say he admitted to getting in a fight with Ashley on July 17th and caused her death, but refused to tell them where to find her body.

Okmulgee police say forensic testing will identify the remains, they are not revealing where searchers found the remains.

Poor child, she fell for the wrong man, I hope that creepy, slimey piece of human refuse dies in prison for killing the two little girls and this one, and I hope it is very long and painful, drawn out death.
