Cassidy Ritchie had been involved in domestic violence incidents
This case is being looked into by detectives as a homicide. The TPD also declared on Sunday that it is looking for information regarding a Good Samaritan in connection with Ritchie's disappearance and subsequent homicide.
On Thursday, January 25, Ritchie was first listed by TPD as missing and endangered. Ritchie's family hadn't seen her since Saturday, January 20.
She had previously been involved in domestic violence incidents, according to TPD.
Ritchie's car, a 2006 light blue Chrysler Pacifica, was found, and the TPD reported on Friday, January 26 that it had a lot of off-road debris on it.
Additionally, according to TPD, Ritchie, a newlywed, might have been abandoned somewhere off Highway 412 between Tulsa and Inola. Foul play is also suspected.

Brooklyn woman fatally stabbed in apparent fight with son
In a similar incident that took place in Brooklyn, Donna Hyman, 58, died on Friday, January 19, following what appeared to be two stabbings. Critical injuries were also discovered at the scene on her 36-year-old son, who is believed to be the attacker.
In addition, a dead dog was discovered outside the Starrett City structure. Around 7 pm, a 911 call was made, and NYPD officers hurried to 1500 Hornell Loop, close to Pennsylvania Avenue.
They were horrified to find a dead dog just outside the building's entrance.
The dog's injuries, which were consistent with a fall from a considerable height, were considered to be a component of the tragic event that occurred on Hyman's eleventh-floor apartment.
Her adult son was found by law enforcement injured and bleeding inside the building lobby. The horrifying discovery they made soon led them to the 58-year-old mother's body, who had been stabbed several times.
In the lobby of the building, neighbor Johadah Murphy, 17, watched as paramedics attended to the injured man.
Murphy narrated, "He was under a white sheet because he was naked. When he first came down, he said, 'Oh, I need some help.' And then he said, 'Never mind. No one can help me'."
