Netflix documentary trend post leads to tragedy
Gibson, a hairstylist and mother of two captioned the video, ‘I wish I was joking #plottwist #netflix #documentary.’
Less than two weeks after she posted the video, on Thursday, July 23, Gilson and Duffey were found dead in her home in Collinsville, OK, both with apparent gunshot wounds to the head according to a release from Owasso law enforcement.
Initially, a 911 call around 11:15 p.m. was made to authorities and dispatchers heard what sounded like a woman screaming, followed by what sounded to be a gunshot, KTUL reported.
A few moments later, Gilson’s juvenile son, who lived in the home, made a second 911 call from a neighbor’s house advising that his stepfather, Duffey, had shot his mother.
Authorities arrived at the scene around 11:15 p.m. where they found the estranged couple dead.

Order of protection and allegations of inappropriate touching of 15-year-old
The tragedy follows Gibson weeks earlier on June 10, appearing in court requesting an emergency protection order against Duffey, with the woman telling the court her soon to be ex having a firearm and threatening to take his own life.
Duffey was mandated to stay 100 yards away from his wife, forcing him out of the home and ‘and going on the run,’ according to The Oklahoman.
Owasso Police previously guided Gilson on how to seek an Emergency Protective Order through the Tulsa County Courthouse following an incident the previous day, and noted that no reports of Duffey violating the protective order were made to them prior to the fatal shooting.
The same day, another protective order was issued against Duffey on behalf of a 15-year-old girl who was a member of the youth basketball team he coached alleging Duffey assaulted her.
The assault reportedly occurred on Tuesday, June 9 inside an elementary school where Duffey’s traveling competitive team was renting the court while school was out of session.
Police clarified that the team and Duffey had no official affiliation with Owasso Public Schools.
School basketball coach husband preyed on teen girl
Duffey allegedly sent the minor inappropriate messages, kissed her and touched her inappropriately, and invited her to his hotel room during a tournament, offering money ‘to keep her quiet,’ according to court documents obtained by the Oklahoman.
During the June 9 incident, another team coach personally witnessed the conduct, immediately intervened, and notified the girl’s guardian, police say.
Investigators noted that similar conduct by Duffey toward this player had occurred over an extended period across multiple states and law enforcement jurisdictions.
Duffey fled the scene that night and had evaded police contact ever since.
2021 order of protection
Of note, years before the murder-suicide, Gilson filed two protective orders against Duffey in 2021, according to court records. They were dismissed because Gilson did not appear at the hearing, The Oklahoman reported.
Because Jeremiah Shawn Duffey is a member of the Osage Indian Tribe of Oklahoma and the incident occurred in Indian Country, the report — listing the crime of Lewd Molestation of a Minor — was designated a ‘Major Crime’ under the Federal Major Crimes Act and turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for review, which concluded Owasso Police’s jurisdiction over that sex crime investigation.
The investigation is ongoing.
