LAWTON, Okla. — New court documents provide additional information in the death of Darrell Edgar, whose body was discovered on May 8 in his Lawton residence.
According to the documents, Edgar’s family became concerned after not hearing from him throughout the week. A family member checked on him and found him deceased inside his home.
Authorities reported that Edgar’s body sustained multiple injuries consistent with a sharp object. Court documents state that investigators identified approximately 50 stab wounds on Edgar’s body.
Investigation Focuses on Natasha Rhine
Investigators began scrutinizing Natasha Rhine due to inconsistencies in her statements during multiple interviews. Surveillance footage from a neighboring property showed Rhine visiting Edgar’s home three separate times on the morning of May 2. Court documents also revealed that a glucose monitor used by Edgar indicated his blood sugar dropping and eventually disappearing during the timeframe Rhine visited the residence.
During a subsequent interview, Rhine reportedly admitted to stabbing Edgar multiple times with a kitchen knife, describing her mental state at the time as feeling “crazy” and “not right.”
Charges and Custody
Natasha Rhine was booked into the Comanche County Detention Center and is currently held on a $1 million bond. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Edgar’s death and have relied on surveillance footage, physical evidence, and witness statements to build their case.
