Jackie Petluska was 34 when she died on July 24, 2016, in Eek, a small village in the lower Kuskokwim Delta. Public details about her death are scarce; an obituary published by Janssen Funeral Homes notes her passing but does not give a cause or describe the circumstances.

Eek has faced incidents of violence in other years, underscoring broader community challenges, but that later case is separate from Petluska’s death. With so little publicly reported about what happened on July 24, 2016, key questions about motive, location, and any investigation remain unanswered.

If anyone knew Jackie, was with her around that date, or has information about her death, please share what is known.
