Woman borrows ‘Billboards’ idea

MCALESTER, Okla.

The Oscar-nominated film “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” inspired an Oklahoma woman to create her own signs in the hopes of solving the unsolved 2016 killings of her daughter and another woman.

In the film that sparked Kim Merryman’s idea, Mildred Hayes, played by Frances McDormand, purchases signs that question why no arrests have been made in the death of her daughter.

Merryman’s billboard, which includes pictures of her daughter, Emily Morgan, 23, and Totinika Elix, 24, can be seen along U.S. Highway 69 in McAlester.

“We were murdered less than 7 miles east of here on Aug. 26, 2016,” the sign says. It also alleges that there’s “a ruthless killer in your community.”

Merryman said her sign isn’t meant to criticize the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
