Mother, 4 Children Found Dead In Apartment, Suspect Sought

EL RENO, Oklahoma - A woman and four children were found dead Monday in an El Reno apartment, police said.

El Reno police received a call about 4 p.m. to check on the welfare of occupants of a unit at the Elizabeth Place Apartments near Oklahoma 66 and U.S. 81, said Jessica Brown, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

"An officer went inside the residence and found multiple dead bodies," Brown said. "He backed out and called for help."

El Reno Police did not release the victims names. Friends and neighbors identified them as Summer Rust and her children, including 8-year-old Kirsten, 7-year-old Autumn, 4-year-old Tegean, and 3-year-old Evan Garris.

Rust's friends said she moved to El Reno from Springfield, Missouri to attend Redlands Community College. She wanted to work for the Department of Human Services.

Authorities are looking for a 1989 white Ford Thunderbird with possible front-end damage and black molding down the side. Investigators don't have a license tag number, Brown said.

"We're looking for the vehicle as well as the person driving it," she said. "We're hoping that person can help with a timeline of what happened today."

An account has been set up to help pay for funeral costs. If you would like to donate, please send donations to:

Canadian State Bank
Attn: Summer Rust Support Trust
220 S. Bickford Avenue
El Reno, OK 73036

Donations can also be made at the Lucky Star Casino.

  • I don't know how ANYONE can kill a baby or a child for that matter!

    • if you're in an airplane and dropping bombs in a civilian area it's only natural seeing the corpses of babies and children near the ones of militants

      inevitable, really

    • Statement based on facts not found in evidence.
      You know the drill.
      Just trying to bring a little honesty and clarity back into the comments section.

    • How on earth does your pro-hamas comment relate to a mother of 4 being murdered by some animal of a human-being

      I read some stupid comments, but yours take the cake

    • to me the comparison is accurate

      a woman that is directly murdered with her kids by someone using a weapon vs. a woman that is indirectly murdered with her kids using a bomb

      common denominator: woman unnecessarily, brutally murdered with her kids

    • 1. Bomb a is a weapon----a woman that is directly murdered with her kids by someone using a weapon vs. a woman that is indirectly murdered with her kids using a bomb--- perhap you need to rethink.

      2. The murders are differentiated by the fact that the first required intent to commit murder, where as a pilot dropping bombs does not necessarily intends to kill a specific person, where as a murder can.

      3. In war there are going to be civilian deaths... only way around it is minimize the number as More..
