The OCSO and the OSBI said they found Hartung's body at about 4 p.m. on Thursday, January 19, 2017. 

Investigators arrested four people on complaints of first-degree murder. Deputies identify them as the following:
-Tillman Wells, 30

They say they arrested Wells, Beckham and Jones at a home in Hominy and Horton in Stillwater.
