On Saturday, an Oklahoma man was arrested after his two children were found dead in his hot truck. Now, just days later, the father has been released.
In the incident, the father, Dustin Lee Dennis, said it all started after he went to a local store around noon, with his two children, 4-year-old Teagan, and 3-year-old Ryan. He later returned home with the children and decided to take a nap. However, when he woke up, he said he found his children dead on the floorboards of his car.
Dennis was arrested for the children’s deaths, but on Monday, Tulsa District Attorney’s Office announced that the father would be released without charges, as surveillance footage showed the two children got into the truck on their own.
“Today investigators with the Tulsa Police Department brought to the attention of the District Attorney’s Office additional information they were able to develop in the matter of the deaths of Teagan and Ryan Dennis,” the office said in a statement. “Detectives within the Child Crisis Unit were concerned about conflicting information as it related to the initially reported facts. Video surveillance footage from a neighbor’s home confirmed that the children managed to get into the truck and tragically never got out. Based upon that newly discovered evidence, the detectives immediately reported it to our office. We then presented that information to the judge, who initially set bond. Mr. Dennis was authorized for release on a personal recognizance bond.”
No charges have been filed in the deaths of the children. However, “The fact that Mr. Dennis was released on a personal recognizance bond does not mean that this case is over. It is still a matter under investigation.”
