Reward Offered For Adair County Man In Father-In-Law's Murder

A reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of an Oklahoma man wanted for murder. James Douglas Manken is wanted for first-degree murder in the death of his father-in-law.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering a $5,000 reward to anyone who "provides information regarding Manken's current whereabouts, leading to his arrest and conviction," a news bulletin states.

Wayne Lee Wennerholm was found dead inside his home in Watts July 13, 2014. His daughter, Janice Manken, was arrested on a complaint of accessory to the 71-year-old man's murder.

Authorities have been searching for her 40-year-old husband since that time. He is a white male, 6-feet tall and 155 pounds. Manken has brown hair and brown eyes.
