This Short News documentary special explores a major marijuana bust in southeastern Oklahoma that led to five individuals, including Wanda Sue Cook, pleading guilty to drug possession charges. The case, tainted by the unsolved double murder of two drug ring figures, revealed a vast operation involving over seven marijuana fields and major profits. Federal agents and local sheriffs unraveled the scheme during a dramatic investigation marked by violence, secrecy, and high-stakes trafficking. Cook, along with James Earl Cook and Ralph Patty, was arrested near Idabel, Oklahoma, and later testified in court. The ring was also tied to a broader operation smuggling marijuana from Texas into Oklahoma, and law enforcement linked its operations to a man murdered while allegedly attempting to protect his share of the profits.
