Official documents in the first degree murder case against Kevin Joe Sweat reveal gruesome details in the apparent death of Ashley Celeste Taylor.
Defendant Kevin Sweat allegedly told lawmen that he cut the victims throat July 17th and pushed her into Nichols Park lake. However, an extensive search of the lake did not produce the 23-year-old Okmulgee womans body.
Sweat also told lawmen he burned notebooks and video tapes in a fire on the north side of his fathers residence near Weleetka. A search of that site by OPD officers and OSBI agents uncovered adult human bones and pieces of prescription eye glasses consistent with Ashley Taylors glasses. The lawmen also recovered pieces of female clothing from the burn pile. These and other faces are outlined in public records in Okfuskee County district court clerks office. Together, they provide enough evidence to convince prosecutors to file a formal murder charge against Sweat. The defendant remains in the Okmulgee County Jail and is being held without bond. At some point, he could be transferred to the Okfuskee County Jail.
On Friday, OSBI agent Kurt Titsworth revealed the following facts in an affidavit filed in Okfuskee County district court clerks office:
On July 30, 2011, Okmulgee Police Chief, Joe Prentice requested OSBI investigative assistance in the disappearance of Ashley Taylor, WF, DOB: 11/08/87.

Kevin used dry grass and wood to build a fire on the north side of the house. Kevin burned notebooks and video tapes in the fire. Kevin stayed at the house until about 1500 hours. He then drove home.
On August 3, 2011, Agent Titsworth and OSBI Agent David Real interviewed Kevin. Kevin changed his story regarding Ashley's disappearance.

THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA,
Plaintiff,
VS.
KEVIN JOE SWEAT
COUNT 1: MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE - 21 0.5. § 701.7 a FELONY
STATE OF OKLAHOMA, COUNTY OF OKFUSKEE:
I, Max Cook, the undersigned District Attorney of said County, in the name and by the authority, and on behalf of the State of Oklahoma, give information that in said County of Okfuskee and in the State of Oklahoma, KEVIN JOE SWEAT, did then and there unlawfully, willfully, knowingly and wrongfully commit the crime(s) of:
COUNT 1: MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE - a FELONY, on or about the 17th day of July, 2011, by deliberately and intentionally taking away the life of a human being. with malice aforethought, did then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously without authority of law, effect the death of ASHLEY TAYLOR by inflicting certain mortal wounds in the body of said ASHLEY TAYLOR from which mortal wounds the same did languish and die on or about the 17th day of July, 2011.
The case has been investigated by the Okmulgee Police Department, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the Henryetta Police Department, with assistance from the Medical Examiners Office in Tulsa.
In addition to Police Chief Joe Prentice, other OPD officers involved in the case include: Patricia Taylor, Toni King, James Ables, Lyndon Spears, Jimmy Sanders, and Tristan Walker.
The lone Henrryetta Police Officer identified in the case is Robert Health.
The OSBI has moved into the lead role in the investigation due to the still uncertain question of jurisdiction. Despite the filing of murder charges, there is still plenty of investigative work to be completed by the agents and officers. Based upon available evidence, they will attempt to official identify the human remains found at the burn site. They will also want to determine where the death took place - likely in either Okfuskee or Okmulgee county.
Confirmation on the identity of the human remains will be delayed until the OSBI lab work is completed. However, all the available evidence points to the victim being 23-year-old Ashley Celeste Taylor.
It appears he is in custody associated with another murder. INTERNET SPECUALTION and information from another firearm web site indicates he may have owned a Glock 40 at the time of the other female homicides.
