Duncan murdered my brother, George Ryan Taylor, on June 15th, 1983. At the time of his murder, my brother was an armed, uniformed Oklahoma City police officer. He had received a call from a friend asking him to come by her house to help her on his way home from work. Unknown to my brother, earlier in the day the womans estranged husband had come from Texas with the plan to shoot and kill both of them. She was a physician at Hillcrest Hospital and he had kidnapped her from work, taken her to her house, assaulted her, and then forced her to call George. When my brother stepped up on the porch, Duncan began firing from inside of the door. My brother was able to return fire to no avail as his wounds from the ambush were very serious. Duncan surrendered to Oklahoma City police officers at the scene. One of the bullets struck my brother's heart and he went through 50 Pints of AB Negative blood as he died in the operating room about two hours later.
As the details unfolded, our family discovered this was a well planned and pre-mediated murder. Duncan had purchased the murder weapon with intent of murder approximately one week earlier and then later purchased Teflon-coated bullets to assure his plans to kill. He then traveled several hours from where he was living in Texas to carry out his plan.
The event was, of course, devastating to my parents and family. I had one other brother who was also an Oklahoma City police officer at the time and we lived with constant fear of injury to one of them, but never anything like this! My parents were in such a state of emotional fragility that my siblings and I would not allow them to attend the preliminary hearing. After hearing the details of my brothers assault and suffering we met with District Bob Macy and asked him to accept a plea bargain for life rather than subjecting my parents to a death penalty murder trial and series of appeals. Our goal was to protect them as victims so that they would not have to undergo any further suffering. Plea was accepted with a life sentence for the murder of my brother and concurrent sentences for kidnapping and assault to Duncans estranged wife.
Arley Duncan, DOC #133073, was placed on the Oklahoma Parole Docket the very first time after only serving 39 months of a LIFE sentence. Our family and friends were so outraged by this incident that we worked with the Oklahoma State legislature to create an additional punishment option of Life Without Parole. So now other families do not have to go through what we have gone through for the past 28years. This month is Arley Duncan's, DOC #133073, 7th time to be on the Parole Docket. He has already passed a Stage I hearing and this is the first time he has passed a Stage II hearing and will ge this named presented to the governor.
