Kristina Marie Povolish was 19 when she was last seen by her mother shortly after midnight on July 25, 1987, after a neighbor dropped her at a Moto Mart on West Main Street in Belleville, Illinois. Her body was found three days later, on July 28, in a weed-covered ditch on Triple Lakes Road near Imbs Station Road outside Dupo. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department and the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis determined she had been strangled.

Investigators later linked Kristina’s death to a string of unsolved killings of young women in the Belleville area. Attention focused on Dale R. Anderson, already serving life for unrelated 1989 murders; a 1989 search of his home recovered folders about Kristina and other victims, and profiler Robert K. Ressler described Anderson as likely responsible for multiple murders. Anderson was never charged in Kristina’s case, and the homicide remains officially unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Kristina’s last movements on July 25, 1987, or about suspicious activity around Triple Lakes Road in late July 1987?
