A southwest Oklahoma City mother continues her search for answers after her daughter, Madison Farley, was murdered during a home invasion six years ago. The 18-year-old was killed in April 2020 while attending a house party that was interrupted by an armed robbery. Authorities say Farley was not the intended target.
Her mother, Bobbie Renfrow, described the lasting impact of her daughter’s death. “The world became a much quieter place now that she’s gone,” Renfrow said.
Details of the Incident
- Date: April 2020
- Location: Southwest Oklahoma City
- Event: House party interrupted by armed robbery
- Victim: Madison Farley, 18, shot in the head
- Suspects: Four individuals captured on grainy surveillance footage leaving the scene in a truck
Police were able to match ballistics to a rare firearm used in the shooting. However, the gun was never fingerprinted, leaving investigators without key forensic evidence.
Renfrow expressed frustration with the investigation. “He’s like, there probably wasn’t any fingerprints of the person who pulled the trigger because it had gone through so many hands,” she said.
Impact on Family
Farley left behind a six-year-old son who has never known his mother. Renfrow shared, “He wants to know where his mommy is, and we always tell him moms in heaven.”
The family has struggled with the emotional toll of the unsolved case. Renfrow said, “It wasn’t just Maddie that got killed that day; they killed our whole family.”
Investigation Challenges
Police followed multiple leads, but many were complicated by witnesses providing false information or going silent. Renfrow expressed disappointment in those who were present at the scene.
“The thing is, Maddie’s whole life she always had her friends’ back… then the one time we need them, they won’t say anything,” she said.
Authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward. Anonymous tips can be submitted online or via Crime Stoppers at (405) 235-7300.
