Murdering the love of Sarah Magurie

January 2022, it was a cold winter in Tulsa, Oklahoma, one that felt colder than most for some of us in the city. If one were to be out in the evening air of the cold, it was bone chilling to the soul. On an evening like this one who wouldn’t enjoy a good home cooked meal by someone who seemed to care about them? Right, Folks?

On the evening of January 3rd, 2022, after coming home from a long day at the towing company she worked for, Sarah Maguire had settled in for the evening with her girlfriend, Brinlee Denison. Folks, let me tell you it’s nice to have someone to come home to after a hard day’s work, and Sarah liked having that feeling, but this wasn’t a healthy relationship.

It sounds as if I’m judging, folks, I’m not. Follow this, Brinlee were and on again off again couple. When Brinlee wasn’t with Sarah, she went running back to an ex-boyfriend by the name of Nicholas Johnson. Nicholas was a good for nothing creep by the standards he set himself. He couldn’t keep a place to live and even stayed in the modified playhouse more than once, located in Sarah’s backyard. Now if I had been Sarah, I would have drawn some lines. Not letting Nicholas Johnson ever stay was one of those things I would have had on my list. Letting Brinlee back into my life more than once was another line I would have drawn, but again, Folks, that’s just me.

Nicholas and Brinlee had ended their relationship around New Years this time. Not very long after that, Brinlee had returned to Sarah and was living with her and it wasn’t the first time. This was a fast move, don’t you think? Anyway, Nicholas found he couldn’t live without Brinlee. He blamed Sarah for the breakup, and he wanted Brinlee back. This didn’t stop him from going over to Sarah’s on the night of the 3rd of January to try and fix their relationship. Folks, this was a lot of fighting over one girl. Too much back and forth for my taste, I think I might not have let this go on, how about you? I’m a one and done kind of gal, once they walk out the door once, let them go.

Brinlee cooked for them. A dinner of pork chops, mash potatoes, macaroni and cheese. A very heavy dinner. All three sat down together to eat dinner. I find it strange that this all was a very friendly exchange, considering the fact he was there to win back his true love. Call me skeptical, but I just don’t think he showed up with good intentions for anyone on his mind to begin with, Folks.

Sarah became tired and laid down on the couch. She drifted off to sleep. This gave the other two time to talk and time to plan. Soon the talk turned into things criminal, not just about fixing a relationship. See, Folks, Nicholas wasn’t the only one with darkness in his heart in the rekindled relationship. Yes, they didn’t take long to talk out whatever their little spat had been about to turn it around.

They were in the playhouse having their “discussion”, away from Sarah and the main house. I guess Sarah was figuring Brinlee was going to make a choice that evening about who she wanted to be with and she certainly made more than one wrong choice that night.

They went back into the main house. The two gathered Sarah’s credit cards, debit cards, social security card and Driver’s license. They also took any electronic belongings belonging to Sarah. All of this they had managed to do without Sarah waking up.

During the search for all these items Nicholas found a polaroid. It wasn’t a very flattering polaroid to his ego and not one to his newly reconstituted relationship to his on again off again girlfriend, Brinlee. It was a polaroid of Brinlee, Sarah, and of an unknown male. The girls were simply wearing lingerie in the polaroid. This outraged Nicholas and his fragile male ego, Folks. Most men aren’t even close to this fragile, Nicholas was one of those less then a man types and proved it. This is the point where stupidity goes way off the deep end of things, Folks.

It pissed Nicholas off so badly, Folks, he took a crowbar and sober. He took swing after swing and beat Sarah’s head in while she laid defenseless on the couch sleeping. It happened so fast on the first blow, Sarah had no chance of fighting back. Nicholas’s attack was so fast and so violent he slung blood on the floor, the walls, and the ceiling of the living room. When it was over, Nicholas had stood over her, Folks, and “took it all in.” Before, he covered her with a blanket while she still gasped in her final moments, dying.

It wasn’t enough for the two them to steal from Sarah, or to beat her head into a bloody pulp. Things were so much worse. The two were on the sick side of thing.

The couple went into Sarah’s room. While she was still dying. They were consummating their rekindled relationship very intimately in Sarah’s bed. He probably didn’t even take a shower, folks, and I’m sure with all the blood he slung he got some on him. Even if he did, it didn’t seem to matter to the couple in their coupling. Nicholas admitted he could still hear Sarah dying as he took Brinlee in Sarah’s bed.

The next morning, they took Sarah’s white Dodge Charger. They drove to a convenience store for cigarettes and tried to take money out of Sarah’s account. They then drove out to Nicholas’s uncle’s house only to find he wasn’t home, so they drove to his dad’s house instead.

While at his dad's house, Nicholas admitted to Steven Baker, a guy everyone called “Booger”. Ok, folks, I’m not sure admitting to a guy who sounds like he got a nickname from picking his nose that you just killed someone was the best idea in the world, especially one was going to testify later on his own behalf. But Nicholas did just that and then the couple burned their clothing.

They left together in the white Dodge headed toward Devil’s Den State Park in Arkansas. On the way, they sold Sarah’s phone and drew money out at ATM’s every stop they came across or transferred funds through Cash App and used Sarah’s Credit cards at several fast-food places and gas stations in Missouri and Arkansas.

After Sarah didn’t come to work that day, her supervisor at Speedy Towing called Tulsa PD for a wellness check. What the officers found when they arrived shocked them and horrified Sarah’s loved ones.

Officers arrived at Sarah’s home in the late afternoon nearing the evening, around 5 pm. They peered through the windows of the home. The officers saw a discolored human footed and knocked with no response, this gave them cause for entry into her home. What they found when they entered the home was a scene of nightmares. The amount of blood everywhere got Detectives called to the scene very quickly, Folks.

Detectives were still investigating that evening when the couple placed an online order at the Whataburger in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Oh, my god! Really, the stupid just keeps going, Folks!

First, they use the cards all along the route they are taking. Let’s just leave a big digital map of where we are going! Then let’s stop and order online using the cards because we keep burning up all the cash we have stolen! Not to mention we have been using a Cash App account registered directly to us!

For the final act, they to eat and after they eat, they fall asleep in the STOLEN car, Folks. And not just anywhere, but in the parking lot of the Whataburger. IT’s Okie Genius at work!

Sarah’s mother was alerted to fraudulent activity on the credit cards belonging to Sarah. She didn’t waste any time letting Tulsa PD know what was happening. It was around 9:30 AM on January 5th, 2022, Fayetteville PD found them in the parking lot of Whataburger. It must have been a truly cold night in that car, Folks. And they just slept in a stolen car? Ate food on stolen cards with no thought of the fact someone might be looking for Sarah by this point? Wow, I mean Wow, really? This is just a mind blower after all the other stupid stuff they do; they just are there basically waiting for the PD to pick them up.

The Malice that it took to kill Sarah the way it happened was blatant and complete disregard for human life. Who’s to say these two weren’t going to be the next Bonnie and Clyde, killing and stealing all along the midwest. Now they are both in an Oklahoma Prison.
