A tip received Tuesday led Tulsa police to the city's 66th homicide victim of the year early Thursday.
The dismembered body of 18-year-old Anthony Pietrzak was found at 2 a.m. in the 2000 block of north Yale Avenue with the help of Tulsa County Sheriff's deputies.
Dearld Peal, 46, and Tracey Price, 40, are charged with murdering and kidnapping Pietrzak.
A Crime Stoppers report received by the Tulsa Police Department on Tuesday said Pietrzak was in a relationship with a woman and had been beaten to death at a home in the 2800 block of east 42nd Place North.
That report led detectives to a witness that saw a man being thrown out of a house in that area. The witness told detectives the man was beaten, hogtied and thrown into the back of a pickup.
TPD served search warrants on two houses yesterday a little before 5:30 p.m. They found a crime scene at one and arrested Peal and Price there.
