Daughter of Triple-Murder Victim Says the ‘Heart Eater’ Killer is Bragging From Prison

A man convicted of a gruesome triple murder in Oklahoma is back in the headlines after disturbing allegations surfaced from the daughter of one of his victims. Lawrence Paul Anderson, 46, is currently serving multiple life sentences at the Dick Conner Correctional Center for the brutal 2021 killings of three people — including a child and a member of his own family. Now, a victim’s daughter says the convicted killer is using social media to boast about his crimes from behind bars, reigniting pain and trauma for grieving loved ones.

A Chilling Crime That Shocked Oklahoma

In 2021, Anderson carried out one of the most horrific crimes in Oklahoma’s recent history. He broke into the home of 41-year-old Andrea Blankenship, killed her, and then cut out her heart. According to court records, Anderson cooked the organ with potatoes, intending to serve it to his family to “release the demons.” He then went to his own family’s home, where he murdered his uncle Leon Pye, 67, and his 4-year-old niece Kaeos Yates. His aunt, Delsie Pye, survived but was severely injured, including having one eye gouged out during the attack. Anderson later pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to five life terms, some with the possibility of parole.

Victim’s Daughter Alleges Killer Is Active on Facebook

Years later, Andrea Blankenship’s daughter, Haylee Blankenship, says she has been retraumatized by shocking online activity. Speaking to local news outlet KWTV, Haylee revealed that Anderson appears to be active on Facebook under the alias “Tony Hayes.” She claims photos and videos show Anderson smiling, laughing, and even celebrating a birthday with other inmates. “Could you imagine being a victim of your mom getting dismembered and murdered?” she asked. “And then her murderer is literally on Facebook smiling and laughing and having a party?”

The emotional toll was worsened by disturbing messages allegedly sent from the account to her and other family members. One message reportedly read, “The heart eater and I want to deliver a message to your boyfriend,” followed by a threatening phrase involving violence. Haylee believes the “heart eater” reference is a clear and twisted brag about her mother’s murder.

Prison Authorities Respond to Allegations

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) responded to KWTV’s investigation by confirming that inmates are prohibited from using cell phones or social media. “ODOC does not tolerate criminal behavior within our facilities. Our inmates are not allowed to use cell phones and social media,” the agency said. “We take swift action and hold them accountable for their actions when we learn of such behavior.” If the account is confirmed to be operated by Anderson or on his behalf, it could prompt a disciplinary response or legal investigation.

A Family’s Pain Reignited

For Haylee and her family, the latest developments have reopened deep wounds. Seeing the man who took her mother’s life appear to mock the tragedy online has left her feeling “miserable, retraumatized, and helpless.” Though Anderson remains behind bars for life, the emotional impact of his actions continues to haunt the families he devastated.
