Deborah Kisor, 31 and described as a mental patient, was found murdered on February 14, 1987, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Children discovered her body in woods near Roser Park. Investigators determined she had been assaulted and strangled.

The case went cold for years. DNA testing attempted in the late 1990s produced no lead, but a 2006 resubmission of DNA evidence to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement produced a match to Tony Ables, a St. Petersburg man already serving life sentences for other killings. Ables had a long history of violent crime dating back to a 1971 murder conviction, later release, and subsequent convictions in the 1980s and 1990s. Police said Ables was suspected in additional unsolved homicides; he did not cooperate in the Kisor investigation.

Because Kisor had been involved with Ables, the State Attorney’s Office decided not to prosecute this murder. Does anyone have information about Deborah Kisor or her movements in St. Petersburg around February 1987?
