This undated photo provided by Dennis Hof, shows Brooke Phillips. On
Friday, Nov. 13, 2009, Oklahoma City police said the 22-year-old Brooke
Phillips, who worked at a Nevada brothel that featured on an HBO reality
series, was among four people found dead in a burning house earlier this
week.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A former Marine was charged Friday with six counts of
first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of four people whose bodies
were found in a burning home, including a prostitute featured on the HBO
reality series "Cathouse."
David Allen Tyner, 28, of Locust Grove, is accused of shooting, stabbing
and then burning the bodies of Brooke Phillips, Milagrous Barrera,
Jennifer Ermey, 25, and Mark Barrientos, 32, at a southwest Oklahoma
City home. Because Phillips and Barrera, both 22, were pregnant, two
more murder counts were filed.
Phillips had worked at the Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel near
Carson City, Nev., that is featured in the HBO reality show "Cathouse."
Oklahoma Fire Bodies Found
According to a police affidavit filed with the charging document, a
witness inside home told police someone known as "Hooligan" was arguing
with one of the victims when the shootings happened. The witness later
identified "Hooligan" as Tyner, the affidavit said.
The document doesn't say which victim Tyner was arguing with or what the
dispute was about.
The witness ran from the home when Tyner yelled he had no problem with
the witness, it says.
Oklahoma City firefighters who responded to a report of a fire at the
house about 5:20 a.m. Nov. 9 found one of the victim before
extinguishing the blaze. After putting out the fire, they found three
more bodies inside, authorities said.
Autopsies showed all four had been shot.
Police have said one of the three women had cuts on her stomach, face
and neck. Shell casings from two different handguns, along with several
knives, ammunition, drug paraphernalia and about seven grams of
marijuana were recovered from the scene.
An attorney for Tyner, a cage fighter, couldn't immediately be reached
for comment Friday afternoon.
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater also didn't immediately
return a phone call seeking comment.

I'm really surprised that <alt.obit>'s A-Roy hasn't posted innumerable
links to photos of Brooke Phillips after he's bopped his bologna over,
and probably onto, each of them! She sure was purdy.

EXCLUSIVE: Slain Cathouse Beauty Had Controversial Tattoo Inside Mouth

PHOTOS: Brooke Phillips Was A Star At The Moonlite Bunny Ranch

Gorgeous prostitute-turned-reality TV star Brooke Phillips, who was
discovered fatally shot and burned almost beyond recognition in an
Oklahoma City house last week, had a special way to address her critics
without having to say a word.
"Brooke has a odd tattoo inside her mouth. It read 'F*** you'," a source
close to the investigation told RadarOnline.com.
Phillips' relatives said that anytime the reality TV prostitute would
get upset, she would pull her lip down.
RadarOnline.com is following this case closely, as Oklahoma police
interview family and friends of the slain reality star, who was pregnant
at the time of her murder.
"Brooke's aunt has been quite helpful in the investigation," police told
RadarOnline.com.
Brooke hit the big time when, as a prostitute at Nevada's legal brothel,
the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, she was featured on the HBO reality show,
Cathouse.
"Brooke contacted me two years ago," Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof told
RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. �It was her dream to come
work here and be on HBO's Cathouse. She got to fulfill those wishes."
Reality shows and murder are unfortunately going hand-in-hand lately:
Former reality star Brian Lee Randone is accused of killing adult film
star Felicia Tang and swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore was brutally murdered
by reality show contestant Ryan Jenkins who later killed himself.
Hof described Phillips, who worked under the name "Hayden Brooks" as the
Miss Congeniality of his brothel. "She had a great personality.
Everybody loved her and she loved playing Scrabble with the girls. She
was just the best."
Brooke was one of four victims found in the Oklahoma City building
Monday. After the Medical Examiner finished his investigation it was
revealed that Brooke and another victim, Millie Barrera, were both
pregnant and had both been shot to death before the one story brick
building was set ablaze. The police have now added the two unborn babies
to the list of victims, taking the murder count to six.
Brooke came to Hof last month with the news she was pregnant.
"She was really excited about it," he told RadarOnline.com. "We talked
about her taking time off for the pregnancy and to have the baby, and
then coming back to work. We never discussed who the father was. Brooke
didn't seem to care. This was her baby and she was thrilled about it.
"The Bunnys were already planning to throw her a baby shower," the
brothel owner told RadarOnline.com.
Phillips died from a single gunshot wound. Her baby was due late spring.

Good God, was she raised by wolves or what?

Maybe. At least the workplace was safe, they kept her healthy, and
what she was doing was legal.
I watched the original Cathouse special, which was pretty good. All
the girls seemed to get along fine. The oddest thing about it was the
amount of money changing hands. Some guy would show up with a credit
card, and Dennis Hof would spend twenty minutes figuring out how to
convince American Express to put through a $15k charge, and that he was
running some kind of business other than a cathouse. I mean, $15k?
Were they paying for the atmosphere?
The followup special was much less interesting, and I never bothered
with the series.
