June 02, 2021

On 08/23/1983, at about 1:30pm, Alaska State Troopers in Juneau received a report that 20-year-old Juneau resident, Cynthia D. Elrod was found deceased in her home at the Kodzoff Trailer Park, located in the Mendenhall Valley of Juneau Alaska. Troopers responded to the residence and located Cynthia Elrod’s body in the bathroom of the residence. The cause of death was determined to be by strangulation.

During the course of the investigation, multiple persons of interests were developed as possible suspects. Troopers followed up on many leads in the case and worked with the F.B.I to analyze evidence in the case. As of yet, no evidence in the case has been able to link a suspect to the killer of Cynthia Elrod.

The Juneau Police Department is asking for assistance in identifying Cynthia Elrod’s killer. As it has been almost 40-years since the murder, JPD hopes that someone who knows what happened will come forward with new information, or that the suspect would want to unburden themselves with the guilt that comes with such an act.

June 11, 2015

Sometime between Friday, October 14, 1988 and Monday, October 17, 1988, 73 year old John L. Jack Senior was brutally beaten and stabbed to death. His body was found on that Monday at about 10:00 in the morning inside his apartment in the Mountainview Senior Center. Investigators at that time concluded there were likely two suspects, a man along with a woman or smaller man. The suspects were never identified. The circumstances indicate Jack probably knew his killers and they were familiar with where he lived and that he kept a small amount of cash in his apartment. Jack was a particularly vulnerable victim as he was partially paralyzed after having a stroke.
