MUM AND HER TWO DAUGHTERS MURDERED BY ANGRY NEPHEW
03-08-2020
2020
True Crime
Anchorage, Alaska, is considered one of the most scenic cities in the United States. Bordered by the Alaska mountain range on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, it draws tens of thousands of tourists each year. The life blood of the state had been the oil business. But in the mid 1980s, prices for crude oil crashed, forcing thousands of workers off the job. John Newman was one of the oil workers who lost his job. When he couldn't find other work in Alaska, he left for California to take classes to become a locksmith. His wife Nancy stayed behind to care for their two young daughters - eight year-old Melissa and three year-old Angie. Family friend Linda Eagley recalled: “Angie was a cherub, beautiful blonde hair. Just cute, charming, very charming. “Melissa was at that stage where she wasn't baby-cute anymore, but she had all the potential to be beautiful.” Nancy worked as a waitress at Gwennie's restaurant, an Anchorage landmark. She was known for never missing a day so when she didn't come to work one Sunday morning in 1987, her co-workers were concerned. Linda added: ‘Nancy's sister Cheryl worked for us as a hostess and they were very, very close. “And I said: ‘Cheryl, you know, you've got your car. Can you run over and check on Nancy, see what's going on?’” Cheryl immediately drove over to her sister's apartment. Nancy Newman's front door was locked but inside was a scene of horrific violence. Nancy was found in her bedroom. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death with a pillowcase. Eight year-old Melissa had met the same fate while three year-old Angie had bled to death after her throat was slashed. Homicide Investigator Sgt Ken Spadafora revealed: “We'd never had a crime like that in town before, you know, a whole family basically killed in, in their own house. “That was very heinous and definitely out of the ordinary for Anchorage.” The coroner estimated the murders took place some time on Saturday morning. None of the neighbors saw or heard anything unusual during that time. Although there were no signs of forced entry, Nancy Newman's camera and purse were missing from the apartment. A knife was also missing from a butcher block in the kitchen and a cookie tin that normally held Nancy's waitressing tips was empty on the kitchen table. A damp wash cloth was found in the bathroom sink. Homicide Investigator Michael Grimes explained: “He was in a comfort zone inside that apartment. “He knew this situation of these victims enough to know that he wouldn't in all likelihood be interrupted, that he could spend a significant amount of time. “And we could tell he spent a significant amount of time. He had three different victims, three different bedrooms, two of them sexually assaulted. “And then we had the person completely cleaning up. He had to be covered in blood.’ John Newman was attending school in California and police could find no evidence that he had returned to Alaska at the time of the murders, and was not considered a suspect. But the killings reflected a great rage on the part of the perpetrator. Police wondered if Nancy Newman had made an enemy among co-workers or customers of the restaurant. Friend Linda Eagley said: “It was a difficult station that she worked. It was normally, you know, single guys. ‘And maybe they were hung over. Maybe they were just being jerks.” As John Newman returned home to bury his wife and two small children, investigators wondered whether this was a botched robbery attempt that had turned violent or an act of revenge. After the murders of Nancy Newman and her two daughters Melissa and Angie, Anchorage residents feared that a random sex killer was on the loose. Linda added: “Why didn't somebody hear Nancy's screams? I used to have dreams at night. I could hear a woman screaming. “And it would be, you know, when you first fall asleep, and I'd wake up and I'd still hear the screams. But I didn't know what to do. “I couldn't do anything. And for a while I didn't know if it was dreams or if it was really happening.” Local journalist Steve MacDonald said: “Who in this community would commit such a crime where they would actually kill two young children like that? “And if, if it wasn't the husband, then who? And was he still out there on the streets? And that had a lot of people who were genuinely scared.” The lack of forced entry and the time spent in the apartment led investigators to believe the killer had been there before. Lt William Gifford of the Anchorage Police Department, admitted: “This was the worst case that I've ever worked. “I've had, I've been involved in one form or another in over 200 homicide investigations and this would be the worst as far as the victims go, the brutality, the age, what was done to them.” At the crime scene, investigators searched for fingerprints using a technique called superglue fuming. When superglue is heated, the fumes attach to the biological material in finger oils. Then powder is used to reveal the print. Fingerprint Analyst Kathy Monfreda explained: “Sometimes you'll be able to see them, sometimes you will not. “After the superglue fuming process is completed, as a fingerprint examiner, once those fingerprints are fixed, we either photograph them as they develop or add different chemicals to that item to try to make the fingerprints visible. “So then we can preserve them and compare them to suspects or other individuals.” Kathy Monfreda found over 100 fingerprints in the apartment, many did not belong to anyone in the immediate family. Prints were found on the inside of the front door, on the cookie tin where Nancy Newman kept her waitressing tips, in the bathroom, and in other areas. Investigators identified the prints as those of Kirby Anthoney, a nephew of the Newman family. Anthoney was a 23-year-old drifter who had recently moved to Anchorage from Idaho. Since he needed a place to stay, the Newmans allowed him to move in temporarily. Investigator Grimes explained: “Kirby had lived there with them. They had let him stay there. That he was a relative, they felt sorry for him. “They knew he had a troubled past. And so he had a legitimate reason for being in there, which means a lot to what we're going to discover in trace evidence.” Prosecutor William Ingaldson said: “They put him up. He stayed with them. And I think they got along OK, although, we did hear later and learn that he didn't get along real well with Melissa, the eight-year-old.” Kirby Anthoney admitted that living in a small apartment with two young children was difficult. And he told police he moved out amicably, just two weeks before the murders. Furthermore, Kirby Anthoney denied any knowledge of the attack and said he had an alibi. He told police he was out with friends on Friday night and spent Saturday morning eating breakfast at a Burger King restaurant. In addition to the fingerprints, investigators found large amounts of hair in almost every room of the Newman's apartment. The hairs were Caucasian and were not similar to anyone in the Newman family. Anchorage police sent the hairs to the FBI in Washington, DC, hoping that they could shed some light on the identity of the killer. At FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC, trace evidence examiner Doug Deedrick examined all of the hairs and fibers collected from the Newman's apartment. There were thousands of hairs and fibers throughout the apartment, which is not unusual. But Deedrick found large numbers of hairs in the victims' bedrooms, which were public hairs. Deedrick explained: “It is very easy to distinguish the differences between the head hair and the pubic hair, differences being in diameter, length, color, internal microscopic characteristics, the appearance of the tip. “Pubic hairs generally have a pointed tip, whereas head hairs are often cut.” His first task was to compare the hairs to the victims and to their prime suspect, Kirby Anthony. In Deedrick's opinion, the pubic hairs were microscopically similar to hair samples collected from Kirby Anthoney. But Anthoney's hairs in the apartment could be explained, since he had been living there until 10 days before the murders. The question was when were these hairs left in the apartment? To find out, Doug Deedrick devised a unique experiment. Deedrick explained: “I had to take a vacuum home. I had to vacuum the house. And I don't believe the house has ever been any cleaner. “But every, every night for two weeks I vacuumed and, and, then, compared afterwards to see what types of hairs I found and how many hairs I found.” Deedrick discovered that pubic hairs can travel, or migrate, from room to room. And the way that happens in a household is through what is called "a secondary transfer." Pubic hairs travel from room to room, primarily on socks. The Deedrick experiment revealed that these transfers were limited. Very few pubic hairs from an adult's bedroom migrate into a child's bedroom. How then to account for the large number of Kirby Anthoney's pubic hairs in the children's rooms? One explanation was that Anthoney was in the girl's bedroom nude or uncovered. In addition, all of the pubic hairs found in these rooms were clean and moist. If the hairs had been there since the time Anthoney was living there, the shafts would have been dry and collected dirt. Deedrick added: “When a hair is deposited, especially on the floor, in the carpet of a residence, over time the hair can exhibit chew marks from beetle larva that tend to eat on the hairs. “The hairs will accumulate dirt or debris on the surface. The hairs that were found on the body of Melissa and on Angie, all three of those hairs, pubic hairs, like Kirby Anthoney's did not have any dirt on them. “And they had, actually, what looked like fresh blood on the surface of the hairs. And that, I thought, was very significant.” Next, Deedrick examined the damp wash cloth found in the Newman's sink after the murders. On the wash cloth were some green wool fibers which matched the pair of gloves found in Nancy Newman's bedroom. Also on the wash cloth were traces of the victims' blood. Finally, Deedrick made a startling discovery. On the wash cloth were pubic hairs with partial egg casings from pubic lice - an extremely rare finding. The hairs were microscopically similar to Kirby Anthoney and investigators discovered that Anthony had recently been treated for pubic lice. And there was more evidence linking Kirby Anthoney to the Newman crime scene. One was the location of Kirby Anthoney's palm print in a particularly unusual location. Kathy Monfreda revealed: “Above Melissa's bed on the wall, an entire left hand print was developed.” Melissa had been sexually assaulted in that room. The print, only 10 inches above her head, was telling. Anthoney's fingerprints were also found on the container that Nancy Newman used to hold the cash tips from the restaurant. Kirby Anthoney's roommate then told police that on the morning of the murders Anthony had walked into their apartment with blood on his clothing and immediately washed everything he was wearing. The roommate also revealed that Anthoney was counting a large amount of change later that same day. But police were still missing two important pieces of evidence - the murder weapon and a motive. As the investigation into the murders of Nancy Newman and her two daughters continued, more and more evidence pointed to the Newmans' nephew Kirby Anthoney. When the Anchorage police searched for a motive, they learned that Kirby Anthoney's departure from the Newman apartment was not as amicable as he first admitted. John Newman told police that his wife had called him in California. She said Anthoney was behaving inappropriately, and, on at least one occasion, had struck the children. Sgt Spadafora revealed: “Kirby was acting inappropriate. He was starting to physically discipline the girls, get angry at them. “It was very uncomfortable for Nancy and the girls. And Nancy had relayed this information to John. “And John had told Nancy to tell him to leave, get him out of the apartment.” Police believe that it was an angry Kirby Anthoney moved into the dilapidated apartment just 10 days before the murders. Investigators had one last piece of physical evidence to examine - the vacuum cleaner Nancy Newman used to clean her apartment. A neighbour told police Nancy Newman vacuumed her apartment shortly before the murders. Investigator Grimes said: “I wouldn't call her exactly a clean freak, not obsessively a clean freak, but for somebody with two little kids - and I had two little kids - it was a very neat, well-ordered place.” ] When Doug Deedrick looked inside the vacuum cleaner bag he saw many separate layers of dirt, each layer was different. The top layer was the most recent layer of dirt. In it, Deedrick could find only one pubic hair from Kirby Anthoney. The absence of Kirby Anthoney's pubic hairs in the top layer of dirt in the vacuum bag along with the presence of a great deal of his pubic hair at the murder scene indicated that Kirby Anthoney had been inside the apartment between the time it was last vacuumed and the time of the murders. Family friend Linda Eagley said: “If I saw Kirby today, I'd shoot him, run over him with a car. Just whatever. “And you know that that would ruin my life. This man has scarred so many people. What he did to Nancy and the girls was unthinkable.” Prosecutors believe that the microscopic trail of evidence Kirby Anthoney left behind clearly shows his path on the morning of the murders. The theory was that Anthoney was angry after he was forced to vacate the Newmans' apartment and sought revenge. The night before the murders, friends said Kirby was using cocaine and alcohol. The next morning, Anthony entered the Newmans' apartment. The children were sent to their rooms. At some point, Anthoney grabbed the kitchen knife and forced Nancy Newman into her bedroom. Wearing wool gloves he found in the bedroom, he raped and strangled Nancy Newman with a pillowcase. Then, he entered Melissa's bedroom, assaulting and killing her too, leaving his palm print above her bed. The evidence suggests Anthoney cleaned himself in the bathroom, leaving the damp washcloth complete with his pubic hair lice, the green wool fibers, and the victims' blood in the sink. He then killed three-year-old Angie, the only remaining person who could place him at the scene. Anthoney left his fingerprints on the cookie tin as it took Nancy's tips. He also took Nancy's purse, camera, and the knife he used in the murders. The purse and the knife were never recovered. The camera was later found in his possession. Sgt Spadafora said: “It was a crime of opportunity. Kirby was a very disorganized killer. “He just walked over there for whatever reason, became out of control, and continued down this path of destruction.” At the trial, Kirby Anthoney pleaded not guilty and acted as his own lawyer. His defense was that he was framed by police but he had no explanation for the washcloth and the wealth of evidence it contained. Journalist Steve MacDonald recalled: “The courtroom was packed pretty much every day. “While they were waiting for the judge to come into the chambers, Kirby Anthoney turned and looked over at John Newman who was in the gallery there and he said ‘You're a fool, John’. “And I can remember our cameras capturing John's reaction. He was crying. He was in tears. He was so angry.” Investigator Grimes said: “I would say the stupidest thing that Kirby Anthoney did was to have himself declared co-counsel and try and represent himself. “And the other stupidest thing is actually get on the witness stand. “I'd say the other stupidest thing he did was he turned around to John Newman in court that was filled with people and call him a fool.” After two hours of deliberation, Kirby Anthoney was found guilty and sentenced to 357 years in prison. Grimes has difficulty forgetting the unspeakable violence that took the lives of a loving mother and her two young children. He added: “We can scenario this and try and figure out why people do things, you never can get inside their head. “I have theories that the reason he was asked to move out, I think, something happened between him and one of the little girls. I think he was very resentful of it. “Kirby was a drug abuser, you know, particularly cocaine. And I think knowing his psychopathic personality fueled by cocaine, I think, he went over there in a rage.” Nancy Newman's camera, the one found in Kirby Anthoney's possession after the murders, contained family photos taken during happier times, pictures of the lives destroyed by a senseless act of revenge. Today Anthoney – prisoner number 142902 – sits behind bars at the Wildwood Correctional Centre in Alaska. His scheduled release date is April 21 2225. ENDS
