Karen Kay Knippers, whose body was discovered at a low river crossing near Dixon on May 25, 1981, was later buried as a “Jane Doe” at Waynesville Cemetery after authorities were unable to identify the apparent homicide victim, the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.

Alaska has a homicide victim from that same time period who has never been identified. The murderer was eventually identified as the notorious Butcher, Baker serial killer Robert Hansen. But one of his victims, known as Eklutna Annie, has never been identified.
