More than two months since an Anchorage man’s beating death, police and prosecutors are still looking for a suspect indicted under the name “John Doe.”
A grand jury handed up manslaughter charges against the man and his alleged accomplice, Thomasina Richardson-Henry, on Oct. 25. Richardson-Henry, 48, had already been jailed on a first-degree assault charge in the August altercation with Timothy Backus, 53, that left Backus unconscious in a hospital. He died days later.
As of Thursday, John Doe was still on the loose, Deputy District Attorney Clint Campion said.
With all that information they may not find him until he kills again. Still his MO doesn’t involve a gun, so the residents of Alaska I’m sure are deeply comforted by this.
Well, it did happen down in Anchorage. We can always hope he fell into the bay for high tide, or met a bear out in the woods.
Oh, yeah, that whole no permit CC thing helps too.
I don’t have a huge amount of hope for him getting caught. Even in this day and age people come up here or use the state to get lost. It’s far easier than it seems.
You missed a really good one in Fairbanks.

Really gross. He strangled her and chopped up her body to try and hide evidence. Then he impersonated her on her phone for a few days by texting to throw people off.
Troopers were searching various dumpsters around the borough. It really gave women in the area the creeps at first when female body parts started showing up and he was still out there.
BUT not a gun death.
