In Cleveland County District Court, Chace Cook was charged this week with first-degree murder in the death of Madeline Bills, 18, who was found dead April 22 in her home near SW 34 and Telephone Road.
Cook, who is accused of committing first-degree rape in the case, is being held without bond on the murder complaint in the Cleveland County jail.
He is reported to be an ex-boyfriend of Bills.
Bills, a standout on her high school basketball team, was set to graduate with a 4.0 GPA and had signed a letter of intent to play at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, according to her obituary.
“In her short time given here on earth, Madeline made an incredible impact on many lives. She had a personality that would light up any room. Early on, she learned the value of giving back,” the obit said.
“She found great joy in giving and making friends special, homemade gifts. She strove to see the good in people. Madeline would adopt all animals in the shelter if it were an option,” it continued.
Family discovered Bills dead in her bedroom, according to a Moore police detective’s affidavit. The bedroom was a converted pool house.
Police interviews revealed Bills “had previously informed friends she was so scared of (Cook) she planned to sleep inside the main residence, for fear he would come to harm her,” according to the affidavit.
Cook told people he had joined the Navy and was in California for training, according to the detective.
