Obituary

Michael William Houghton was the son of Ashley and Delma Houghton. Mike, an accomplished guitarist and devoted runner, had plans to go to law school. Mike was married and working at Charlie Mitchell's Restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma when his life was taken. He and his co-worker, Laura Lee Sanders, were kidnapped from behind a Tulsa bar. They were placed in the trunk of Laura's car and taken to a rural area in Creek County where the car was set on fire. He left behind a widow, his parents, and one brother and sister.

Inscription:
Michael, You taught us so much about life, love, and friendship. You gave us these gifts in abundance. Your life was nothing short of a triumph. We love you forever and always,
Tena, Mom, Dad, Jana, Garry, Family, Friends.

Notable

(1959-1987) In 1987, he was murdered by Scott Hain, who was 17 at the time. Hain was last person ever executed in the USA for murder as a minor in 2003.

Note

Laura Lee Sanders and Michael Houghton were seated in Sanders' car outside a Tulsa bar when they were approached by Scott Allen Hain and Robert Wayne Lambert.

Hain and Lambert were in the parking lot, waiting to rob a nearby house when they saw Sanders and Houghton talking in the car.

Appellant and Lambert forced their way into the car by threatening Houghton with a knife. Hain drove the car away from the bar, then stopped and robbed Houghton at gunpoint. When Houghton resisted the robbery, Hain forced him into the trunk of the car.

A short while later, Hain and Lambert stopped and put Sanders in the trunk as well. The two men went back and drove away Houghton's car and stopped after driving down a rural roadway.

The two men took Sanders' belongings, cut the gas line to the car and set it on fire. Houghton and Sanders were banging on the trunk and yelling. Hain and Lambert left the area, but returned a short time later to see if the fire was burning well.

Hain was the 22nd murderer executed in the United States since 1976 for a murder committed when they were younger than 18 years old. Lambert remains on death row awaiting execution.

Hain was the last person executed in the United States for crimes committed as a minor, prior to the 2005 Roper v. Simmons case in which the United States Supreme Court outlawed such executions.
