Local topless dancer, Joanne Messina body was found in a gravel pit.
Unfortunately, her body was badly decomposed and, as with "Eklutna Annie",
there was little evidence to be found.
On 12 September 1982 hunters found a shallow grave on the banks of
the Knik River, which borders Anchorage. The remains were identified as
that of 23 yr old topless dancer Sherry Morrow, who had been reported
missing a year earlier. She had been shot in the back 3 times, and
cartridges found near the body suggested that she had been shot with a
.223 Ruger Mini-14 hunting rifle. An odd feature was that although the
body was found fully clothed, there were no bullet holes in the clothing,
suggesting that Sherry had been naked when shot, and had been redressed
after death.
1983, the exact date of Sue's death is unknown. Robert Hansen, took
Sue out to the Knik River in Alaska, stripped her, and made her run like
an animal while he hunted her down, and eventually killing her. He shot
her to death.
