Edith Kakaruk Purvis was 23 and a young mother when her body was found near a car in Southeast Anchorage on May 30, 1978.

The discovery at the roadside produced no publicly named suspect, and no arrests have been announced. Investigators have solved other 1970s Alaska murders with newer techniques, but those developments have not been publicly linked to this case.

Does anyone who lived in Southeast Anchorage in 1978 recall details about the roadside discovery, the car, or people Edith spent time with before May 30?
