Claudette Juniel (also spelled Janiel in some reports) was 31 when her skeletal remains were found on September 4, 2004, in a vacant lot near 27th Street and Olive in Kansas City, Missouri. An anonymous 911 caller directed police to the site and said two more bodies were at 27th and Olive; investigators say they would not have found her without that guidance. Her remains were located at 2745 Olive, nude and concealed beneath couch cushions, sticks, a tire, and with a shirt tied around her neck. Identification was made by a palm print.

Her death was ruled a homicide in part because of the deliberate concealment. The discovery was later linked to a series of women found dead along the Prospect Avenue corridor. Terry A. Blair was charged and, after a bench trial on March 27, 2008, was found guilty of six counts of first-degree murder including Juniel’s; on April 24, 2008, he received six consecutive life sentences without parole. Does anyone have information about Claudette’s life, whereabouts before September 2004, or contacts who might help fill gaps in her story?
