Alysia Greenwade was 33 when her body was found in Illinois in the spring of 2001. She had last been seen in Missouri and is identified as an early victim in a series of brutal killings linked to Maury Troy Travis, a St. Louis-area hotel waiter later dubbed the Videotape Killer. Authorities say Travis targeted vulnerable women, often sex workers, and lured some to his Ferguson, Missouri, home with promises of money.

Investigators tied Travis to Greenwade and other victims after he anonymously sent a marked Expedia computer map to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch; the map was traced back to him by an IP address. A June 7, 2002 search of his home reportedly uncovered a basement torture chamber, bondage instruments, blood spatters and videotapes of torture and killing. He was federally charged with kidnapping resulting in the deaths of Greenwade and Betty James, with investigators believing he may have killed many more.

Maury Travis died by suicide in custody on June 10, 2002, leaving families without a full legal reckoning. Does anyone have information about Alysia’s life before she disappeared or about her movements in Missouri that spring?
