Marie Riley, a 60-year-old Native American/Indigenous woman, was found dead just after noon on October 31, 2020, inside an apartment in the Fairview neighborhood on the 500 block of East 15th Avenue in Anchorage. Officers who responded at 12:01 p.m. discovered two people deceased in the residence; 63-year-old George Tretikoff was also killed. Crime scene technicians processed the home for hours and detectives opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives later focused on a single suspect after recovering forensic evidence at the scene. Bloody handprints were cited in reports as a key piece of evidence that pointed investigators toward 26-year-old Christopher Ligons. He was arrested in late December 2020 on suspicion of first- and second-degree murder, and an Anchorage grand jury indicted him on January 29, 2021, on counts including first- and second-degree murder and evidence tampering. No other suspects were publicly announced during that period.

Did anyone in Fairview know Marie Riley or have information about the evening of October 31, 2020?
