LOGAN COUNTY, Okla. — Authorities have identified the woman found dead in a Logan County trash can on Wednesday as Spring Weems, the adoptive mother of the teenagers accused of her killing.
According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), Weems’ body was discovered in a trash can outside a home near Bryant and Simmons Road along Treviso Trail.
A teenager, who has not been named due to his status as a juvenile, was booked into a Canadian County detention center on a first-degree murder complaint in connection with Weems’ death. While the incident occurred in Logan County, the juvenile was transported to Canadian County because it houses the closest juvenile corrections facility.
OSBI said authorities were called to the scene after a welfare check was requested, though officials did not release information on who made the call.
Investigators continue to look into the circumstances surrounding Weems’ death. The case remains under active investigation, and authorities have not released additional details regarding other potential suspects.
This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
