Oklahoma TV Station Employee Accused of Placing Hidden Cameras in Dressing Room

Police say cached images on Darrell Vannostran’s devices linked him to hidden cameras that recorded multiple people in private dressing rooms.

  • On Tuesday, Oklahoma City police arrested 40-year-old Darrell Vannostran, former chief photographer for KWTV News 9, on a felony complaint of using photo equipment in a clandestine manner in a private place.
  • Janitorial staff discovered concealed cameras mounted with adhesive Velcro strips inside dressing rooms at Griffin Media on March 24, triggering an investigation into unauthorized recording.
  • Investigators identified Vannostran by comparing building entry records with camera access timestamps, while forensic analysis revealed cached images on his phone matching the hidden footage.
  • Griffin Media vice president of marketing Houston Hunt stated the company is cooperating fully with the Oklahoma City Police Department, prioritizing employee safety and privacy.
  • Bond was set at $25,000 for Vannostran, who reportedly "exercised his right to an attorney" after officers seized two iPhones and three USB drives during questioning.
