Narrative:
Started losing oil in right engine 100 mi out of stl. Returned to stl. Cleared to cross wrays intersection at 10000 ft 60 mi out lost all oil pressure. Shut down engine. I did checklists (3) and went on other radio for ATIS, notify dispatch etc. Saw we were at 12000 ft 2 mi past wrays. Don't know if amended clearance was received. Nothing was said. Landed uneventfully. There are too many things for 2 men to do in this environment.
