BIXBY, Oklahoma – A Bixby man has doubled the reward he is offering for information on the murder of his two donkeys. The man, who has been deeply affected by the loss of his animals, is now offering a $40,000 reward for any information leading to the person responsible for the alleged murder.
Kenny Willhite, the owner of the donkeys, expressed his frustration with the slow pace of the investigation. He initially offered a $20,000 reward, but so far, no leads have panned out. Willhite said he is taking matters into his own hands because he feels the county’s response has been sluggish.
“I loved them,” Willhite said of his donkeys in a statement to the media. “They were my friends, and I’m going to fight for them.”
Willhite’s determination led him to double the reward amount in a bid to ensure that the memories of his beloved donkeys, Pete and Patsy, are not forgotten. He emphasized that while his family isn’t wealthy, the increased reward amount underscores how crucial it is for them to solve this case.
In his quest for justice, Willhite also thanked media partners for helping keep the search alive. He urged anyone with information to reach out to him or his family.
The investigation has faced challenges and frustrations, with the county’s response being a source of disappointment for Willhite. Despite this, he is unwavering in his commitment to finding the person responsible for the animals’ deaths.
To aid in the investigation, Willhite’s contact information has been provided for anyone who may have information that could assist in solving the case. The Creek County Sheriff and District Attorney’s offices were reached out to for comment but did not respond.
The increased reward and Willhite’s determination underscore the seriousness of the case and his deep bond with his donkeys, emphasizing the importance of finding justice for Pete and Patsy.
