A possible break in last weekend's triple homicide. News on six crime reporter Lori Fullbright says police officers in Gore detained a man for questioning who could be a material witness in Saturday's murders.

Fred Barney and his ex-wife, Rebecca, were found shot to death inside their home at 502 South Yorktown that had been set on fire. A Good Samaritan who saw the fire and called 911 was also shot and killed.

The only thing missing from house was the computer. Detectives now believe Rebecca Barney was active on Internet dating sites and they believe that is the key to solving this case.

WYLDIVY on AOL.com or Matchmaker.com, COWBOY4you67 on Yahoo.com, and TRUEHEART 481 on Matchmaker.com. If you recognize these Internet names or communicated with the Barney's online, Tulsa Police would like to talk to you.

If anyone has information about this case, you can call Crimestoppers at 596-COPS. You don't have to give your name and you could earn thousands in cash, as a reward.
