On January 6, 1997, Barry Van Treese traveled from his home in Lawton, Oklahoma to the Best Budget Inn in Oklahoma City.  His plan was to pay his employees, pick-up receipts from the hotel, travel to Tulsa and do the same and then return to the Oklahoma City property to inspect it and deal with the manager of that property, Richard Glossip.  Glossip had been managing the hotel in Oklahoma City for between eight and nine months and, in the last six months of 1996, Mr. Van Treese and his wife calculated that about $6,000 in receipts was not turned over by Glossip.  The condition of the property was also deplorable, with only about 24 of the 54 rooms habitable.  Glossip was also permitting unregistered guests to occupy rooms, including his brother Bobby, a drug dealer.   In the early morning of January 7, 1997, after Van Treese returned from Tulsa, Glossip sent 19-year old Justin Sneed to murder Van Treese, promising him between $7,000.00 and $10,000.00.  After the murder, Glossip instructed Sneed to move Van Treese’s vehicle, also telling Sneed to get an envelope with cash from beneath the front seat.  When Sneed returned with the money, Glossip took it and split it between them.  Over the next 17 hours, Glossip told conflicting stories to hotel employees and police investigating Van Treese’s disappearance.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Wednesday, October 2, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for Part 1 of State of Oklahoma v. Richard Glossip.  We’ll talk about the evidence implicating Glossip in the murder-for-hire of Barry Van Treese, his first trial and conviction, reversal on direct appeal by the Oklahoma appellate court and his second trial, direct appeal and state and federal post-conviction claims.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.
