Oklahoma Man Found Under Septic Tank After Employer’s Lies About His Whereabouts Are Exposed By Victim’s Daughter
An Oklahoma business owner Daniel Joseph Triplett, has been arrested on charges of killing one of his employee, Brent Mack burring him under a sceptic tank last month. The search for the missing man started in September when Mack’s daughter, Raychelle Wilson reportedly reached out to Triplett via Facebook Messenger asking about her father’s whereabouts, court documents said.
Triplett alleged he fired Mack, citing alleged “violent demeanor.” In a since-deleted online text, Triplett told Wilson that after giving Mack “$1000 as severance pay,” he dropped him off outside of a local laundromat.
“Lt. Bruning asked Dan about locations where he dropped Mack off and Dan changed the location several times. Dan was shown a copy of the video footage showing him driving by the Holiday Laundry and not stopping. When confronted with the inconsistencies in the story, Dan became very red faced and appeared to be angry,” the affidavit stated.
However, investigators said surveillance footage showed both Triplett and Mack working on a septic tank on Sept. 20 the same day Mack was said to have gone missing — at a home in Mulhall, Oklahoma, and not in Crescent as Triplett initially told investigators.
