Mayes County deputies said Patterson's body was found on Jan. 1, 2020, just south of Locust Grove at the Spring Creek Boat Ramp on the Neosho River.

Just a few hours earlier deputies took a report for a possible missing or runaway teen. Deputies said they went to the scene and confirmed it was the same girl who was missing. Investigators said she had been shot in the head.

17-year-old Cheyenne Blaylock was charged in January 2020 in connection to the case as well.

The jury recommended life without parole. Hall’s sentencing is set for April 2021.
