Jason Dean Cornett Accused of Burning and Scattering Remains of Murder Victim David Orr in White Supremacist Gang Investigation

Accident – death – Obituary News : Prosecutors Drop Murder Case in Investigation of White Supremacist Prison Gang and Disappearances

Shawnee, UK – In a surprising turn of events, prosecutors have decided to drop the only murder case filed so far in the ongoing investigation of a white supremacist prison gang and a series of mysterious disappearances. Jason Dean Cornett, a 45-year-old man, was accused of fatally shooting another individual in 2021 at a house in McLoud, Oklahoma, and subsequently burning the body in a steel box before scattering the remains elsewhere.

Cornett’s preliminary hearing was scheduled for Friday, but prosecutors stated in a court filing that they are dismissing the case “pending further investigation.” Pottawatomie County District Attorney Adam Panter made it clear that the case is not being completely closed, stating, “We’re not shutting the door on it.”

The arrest of Jason Cornett took place on March 1, while he was residing in Midwest City. Known as “no body” cases, such incidents are rare in Oklahoma and pose a greater challenge to prove in court. The case against Cornett was further complicated by witness issues, making it difficult for prosecutors to proceed.

The investigation centers around a white supremacist prison gang and its involvement in 12 disappearances that date back to 2019, according to law enforcement records obtained by The Oklahoman. One key figure in the investigation is Mikell Patrick “Bulldog” Smith, a three-time convicted murderer who was once described as the most dangerous inmate at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.

Interestingly, Smith is also Cornett’s uncle. He has been identified as a shot-caller for the Universal Aryan Brotherhood, a gang notorious for smuggling drugs from Mexico into Oklahoma. Adding to the intrigue, Smith’s wife was listed as an owner of a semi-rural property in Logan County, where burnt human bone fragments have been discovered.

Cornett faced charges of first-degree murder, unlawful removal of a dead body, and desecration of a corpse in relation to the alleged murder of David Orr. According to law enforcement records, Orr, 41, had his last conversation with his father on January 16, 2021. Prosecutors alleged that he was fatally shot in the bedroom of the house in McLoud, where he had been staying with Cornett. Investigators believe that Cornett then scattered Orr’s burnt remains at the semi-rural site in Logan County.

A crucial witness claimed that Cornett admitted to the shooting, stating that Orr “owed ‘Bulldog’ money and Jason was instructed to take care of the debt.” Furthermore, Orr’s son and ex-wife informed investigators that Cornett had warned them to stop looking into the disappearance, threatening that the same fate would befall them. However, defense attorney Michael Johnson introduced doubts regarding Orr’s death, suggesting that he may be hiding out on a beach in Belize to evade federal gun charges.

In addition to Jason Cornett, his wife and nephew were charged in March as accessories to murder. However, prosecutors have decided to proceed only with the case against Cornett’s wife, Elizabeth Dee Cornett, a 45-year-old resident of Midwest City. The evidence against her includes security camera photos that allegedly show her using Orr’s food stamp card at a grocery store in Harrah on January 17, 2021.

The dropping of the murder case leaves many questions unanswered, further shrouding the investigation into the white supremacist prison gang and the string of disappearances in secrecy. As the investigation continues, authorities hope to uncover more information and bring justice to the victims and their families.
