Tulsa Man Pleads Guilty

Terryl Brooks was sentenced to life in prison for killing three women. Brooks pleaded guilty to the murders of Tyra Whitaker, Elizabeth Dillard and Rainbow Star Dancer and faced the family on one of the victims in court. Investigators say Brooks buried Tyra Whitaker’s body in a shallow grave after she disappeared in early 2022. Months later, Elizabeth Dillard was shot and killed on her porch. Then, just days after that, Rainbow Star Dancer was found dead in her apartment. The judge sentenced Brooks to life in prison on two counts of first-degree murder and shorter sentences for second-degree murder and for possessing a gun as a felon.
