Sandra Reed, a 45-year-old African American woman, was found dead on June 30, 2003, in the Prospect Avenue corridor of Kansas City, Missouri. The death was violent: investigators determined she had been strangled and her neck was broken.

Authorities later linked Reed’s killing to a series of murders of women in the area and identified Terry Blair as a suspect. In 2004 Blair was charged in Reed’s death; the indictment alleged he knowingly caused her death by breaking her neck and by strangulation. Those specific murder charges were dropped in October 2007. Blair was later convicted in March 2008 of the murders of six other women and received six consecutive life terms without parole.

Sandra Reed’s case remains tied to the broader spree of violence that terrorized parts of Kansas City in the early 2000s. Does anyone have information about Reed’s life, where she spent time, or details that could shed light on her death?
