Sherry Morrow, 23, was last seen on November 17, 1981, in Eklutna, Alaska, after telling friends she was meeting a man who posed as a photographer and had offered $300 for a nude photo session. A dancer at Anchorage’s Wild Cherry bar, she did not return and was reported missing that day.

Hunters found a shallow grave along the Knik River near Eklutna on September 12, 1982; dental records identified the remains as Sherry’s on September 27, 1982. Investigators reported she had been shot three times in the back with .223-caliber rounds, likely from a Ruger Mini-14. Ace bandages suggested she had been blindfolded, and the absence of bullet holes in her clothing indicated she may have been killed while naked and then redressed before burial.

Her death was later linked to a series of disappearances and killings of women around Anchorage. In 1984, Robert Hansen pleaded guilty to multiple murders, including Sherry Morrow’s, and to the abduction and rape of a teenage survivor who escaped and led detectives to Hansen. Does anyone have memories of Sherry or knew where she worked or spent time in Anchorage in 1981?
