Phyllis Theresa Mancuso, 62, was found murdered in her Phoenix home on March 15, 1992. She was discovered in the laundry room with a fatal gunshot wound to her right cheek and neck.

Investigators later connected her killing to a broader spree that day. The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Pete Carl Rogovich, who is also tied to the murders of 83-year-old Marie Pendergast and 48-year-old Rebecca Carreon at a nearby trailer park, and to the robbery and killing of store clerk Tekleberhan Manna earlier that morning. Rogovich led police on a high-speed chase before his capture and confessed during interrogation, citing personal grievances including his stepfather’s death and a recent breakup.

Rogovich was charged in the multiple killings and later convicted; court sentences were handed down for the victims’ murders. If anyone knew Phyllis Mancuso or has information about her life or that day, please share what you remember.
