Edmond Police Make Arrest in 2016 Homicide

Detectives with the Edmond Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division have made an arrest in the 2016 suspicious death of 19-year-old Jennifer Kyli Molloy. On October 5, 2016, Molloy was found deceased in her Edmond apartment on 900 E. Wayne Avenue. While the investigation has drawn multiple leads over the years, no arrests have been made until now.

At approximately 10:30 A.M. on Thursday, May 2, 2024, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol responded to a routine check welfare call of an individual sitting on the side of I-40 near the Reno/Scott exit. When the Trooper made contact with 28-year-old Joseph Tyler Beck, Beck began voluntarily telling him about his involvement in a 2016 Edmond death. The Trooper detained Beck, notified Edmond Police, and transported him to the Edmond Police station where Detectives were waiting to interview him. Based on the information he disclosed in the interviews, Detectives placed Joseph Tyler Beck under arrest for First Degree Homicide and transported him to the Oklahoma County Detention Center.
