Retired Tulsa Police Homicide Sergeant Mike Huff took on the case as a young detective — and refused to let it go, even as witnesses died, bribes were offered, and federal agents threw up roadblock after roadblock.
In this episode of “The Fullbright Files,” Lori Fullbright sits down with Sgt. Huff and Roger Wheeler’s son David Wheeler to talk about what it really took to bring Roger’s killers to justice — and what’s still unresolved today.
This is the Roger Wheeler case like you’ve never heard it before.
