A Morning That Turned Into a Nightmare
On September 23, 2006, 25-year-old Brett Booket Wolfe was inside his apartment in Seminole, Oklahoma.
By the end of that morning, Brett would be dead — and the person responsible would disappear without leaving behind an answer that could finally close the case.
Around 11:30 a.m., Brett’s roommate discovered him inside their Courtyard apartment. He was lying face down on the floor, with his hands restrained behind him and his feet tied.
Brett had been shot.
The scene immediately raised a disturbing question: why had someone taken the time to restrain him before killing him?
Whatever happened inside that apartment was clearly more than a random encounter, but investigators have never publicly identified the person responsible.
Nearly Two Decades Without an Arrest
Brett’s murder has remained unsolved for years.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation eventually became involved in the case, continuing efforts to uncover new information and develop leads. But despite the passage of time, no arrest has been made and no suspect has been publicly named.
The case has also been included in OSBI’s Cold Case Playing Cards program, an initiative designed to keep unsolved homicide investigations in front of the public and encourage people with information to come forward.
Brett’s case is represented by the Six of Hearts.
Sometimes, a case can remain quiet for years until one forgotten detail, one conversation, or one person finally decides to speak.
A Son Brett Never Got to Meet
Behind the investigation is a family that has had to live with a loss that can never be undone.
Brett was about to become a father. His son was born only days before Brett was murdered, meaning he never had the chance to hold his child or watch him grow up.
Almost two decades later, Brett’s cousin Todd has continued trying to bring attention back to the case. His hope is simple: that someone who knows something will finally come forward.
For the family, solving Brett’s murder would not erase what happened. But it could answer questions that have remained with them for years.
What Happened Inside Brett’s Apartment?
There are still important pieces missing from the story.
Who entered Brett’s apartment that day?
Why was he restrained?
And what happened in the moments leading up to his death?
Investigators believe someone may have information that could help reconstruct those final moments. It is possible that a person who knows something has remained silent for years, believing their information was too small or unimportant to matter.
But sometimes, the smallest detail can become the piece that finally moves a cold case forward.
Brett’s Story Is Still Waiting for an Answer
Nearly two decades have passed since Brett Booket Wolfe was found murdered.
He was only 25 years old.
His son grew up without ever having the chance to know his father, while Brett’s family has continued waiting for an explanation of why his life was taken.
The case remains open.
Anyone with information about Brett’s murder is urged to contact the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-522-8017 or email tips@osbi.ok.gov.
Even a detail that seemed insignificant in 2006 could be important today.
Brett Booket Wolfe deserves to be remembered — and his family deserves answers.
