Man Accused Of Cathouse Murders Is Former UTC Wrestler

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

The man charged with the "Cathouse murders" in Oklahoma, David Allen Tyner, 28, of Locust Grove, Ok., is a former UTC wrestler.

Tyner turned himself in on Tuesday to the Mayes County Sheriff's Office. He is being charged with the murder of six people, including Brook Phillips, 22, a reality TV prostitute on the HBO Show Cathouse.

Tyner is charged with shooting four people, but is charged with the murder of six because two of the victims were pregnant.

The bodies were found in a burning house in Oklahoma City on Monday, Nov. 9.

Police say they don't think Tyner acted alone.

Milagrous Barrera, 22, was the other pregnant victim. Police said both women were shot. The identities of the other two victims have not been released.

The only arrest Tyner had in Hamilton County was for public drunk in 2000.
