Loreese Sophia Hennagin, 29, vanished from Kenai, Alaska, on October 10, 1996. Known sometimes as Lori or Loree and also as Loree Martin, she had lived in Kenai since 1981 and left behind a child who went into the care of her former husband.

In early 1996 Loreese and her boyfriend, Rusty Seaman, were accused of robbing his mother, Joan Avis McGahan, taking cocaine, jewelry, and cash. Authorities allege that revenge followed: testimony says Jeffrey Lackey lured Loreese from a K-Mart on October 9, 1996, met her after she used crack cocaine, then walked with her to a nearby beach. Lackey testified he paged Rocky Nestor Seaman; when Rocky arrived he struck Loreese and Lackey fled. Loreese was never seen again and her body has not been recovered.

Rocky Seaman and Avis McGahan were later arrested on drug charges and eventually charged with murder and conspiracy. Lackey pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and testified against Rocky; Rocky was acquitted of murder at trial but convicted on two conspiracy counts in April 2001 and given a lengthy sentence. The circumstances of Loreese’s disappearance and the location of her remains remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Loreese, her movements in Kenai in October 1996, or has information about the beach she was taken to, please come forward.
