'America's Most Wanted' focuses on trucker wanted in slaying

The hunt for a suspect officials believe could be a trucker will gain national exposure on “America’s Most Wanted” this weekend.

On Saturday, June 4, the nationally syndicated show will feature the case of Casey Jo Pipestem, a prostitute from Oklahoma City whose body was discovered in January 2004. The hour-long show airs at 9 p.m. EDT, 8 p.m. CDT, on the Fox network. Check local television listings for possible additional air times, as they vary station to station with some syndicated programming.

According to media reports, Pipestem, who was 19 at the time, was found beaten, raped and strangled in a creek near Grapevine, TX.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is searching for a suspect they believe is a trucker who is still operating over the road. According to a release, the suspect is a black male, 25 to 35 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, approximately 120 pounds, with a medium complexion, a cleft in his chin and both upper front teeth capped in gold.

The suspect’s rig is a banana-yellow truck with a Tasmanian Devil decal on the side of the vehicle in two different locations – under the sleeper, and on the side of the hood. Police accounts said the truck’s stack, grill and tanks are chrome.

If you have any information regarding the suspected driver or truck, write down the DOT and license tag number and contact the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation hotline at 1-800-522-8017. You may also call the “America’s Most Wanted” hotline at 1-800-CRIMETV (1-800-274-6388).
