Attempted Rape at Hunter Park Bares Similarities to Turkey Mountain Attack; Tulsa Police Investigating Possible Connection

Tulsa police are investigating an attempted rape at Hunter Park near 5800 E. 91st Street.

According to TPD, a woman was approached by a man while she was walking through a "secluded area" of the park around 6:15 p.m. on Thursday night. The suspect physically attacked the victim and assaulted her sexually.

Two people at the park found the victim after the attack and called 911. Police confirmed that the victim was injured during the attack.

Investigators with TPD, said that while this attack is similar to the recent attack at Turkey Mountain, it has not been conclusively linked to this incident. However, they have not eliminated the possibility.

“We are not ruling out the possibility that this is the same suspect,” said TPD Captain Richard Meulenberg.

The police department posted about the attack on Friday afternoon, recommending caution.

"We encourage all Tulsans to be extra cautious when out and about, and we strongly recommend that people use the buddy system, as there is safety in numbers," said TPD in a Facebook post.

The Mayor's Office supports and stands with the Tulsa Police Department and our law enforcement partners to bring these heinous acts of violence to an end and the perpetrators to justice.

As we look to enhance safety at our parks, we are actively working with the Real Time Information Center to deploy additional security cameras to both Hunter Park and Turkey Mountain. Additional City security patrols are also planned across the parks system.
