Myspace Murder Mystery
December 4 – Four years ago, two women were killed in a Kansas bakery. Police have been trying to solve the murder for years, but have never found the killer. Now, a Kansas woman turns to the internet to help solve the murder mystery.
Kathye Phelps was a close friend of Mandi Alexander’s and she wants to do something to help find the killer. It was September 4, 2002, Mandi Alexander’s third day working at the Dolly Madison store in Great Bend. There the 24-year-old Alexander and a customer, 79-year-old Mary Drake, were killed with a sharp object.
Phelps is using myspace.com in an unconventional way, to see if it will drum up new leads in the case. Millions of people use myspace.com so she has made a myspace profile for Mandi Alexander with the story of the two women’s murders. The profile includes the composite sketch police came up with.
Mandi’s father, Guy Sunderland, hopes his daughter’s efforts work. They have had hundreds of hits so far, but they’re still looking for that one hit that might lead to the murderer.
