Do you know who murdered Clark Edward? The death of Charles Edward Clark, a 65-year-old White man, in Anchorage, Alaska, on January 28, 1977, remains an unsolved homicide. For decades, the circumstances of his death have been a mystery, and his case is now one of the state's long-standing cold cases.
The specific details of what happened to Mr. Clark have not been publicly released by authorities. Information regarding where he was found, the cause of death, or any potential motive for the crime has been withheld as part of the ongoing investigation.
The case was originally investigated by the Alaska State Troopers. As time passed without any significant leads, identified suspects, or arrests, the investigation grew cold. It is now one of many unresolved homicides from that era awaiting a breakthrough.
Mr. Clark's case now falls under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Bureau of Investigation's Cold Case Investigation Unit (CCIU).
This unit was formed in 2002 to re-examine unresolved homicides previously handled by the Alaska State Troopers, with some files dating back to 1961. The CCIU is composed of experienced investigators, including retired troopers and former police officers, who apply their expertise to these complex cases. They work closely with state prosecutors and other law enforcement agencies in an ongoing effort to bring closure to victims and their families. Despite these efforts, the homicide of Charles Edward Clark remains unsolved.
