Body Fits Man’s Serial Killing Claims The Victim May Have Met Jesperson At A Spokane Truck Stop
Detectives believe they have discovered the identity of a woman whose body was recently discovered in western Nebraska based on information from a self-proclaimed serial killer.
The Laramie County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday that they believe Angela May Subrize, 21, of Oklahoma City was killed in eastern Wyoming in late January. Detectives said they have been able to place Subrize with interstate trucker Keith Hunter Jesperson in Cheyenne on Jan. 27.
Jesperson, 40, is in a Vancouver, Wash., jail awaiting trial on murder charges. He has sent letters, decorated with “happy faces,” to media outlets to say he killed eight women in five states.
“We’re reconstructing his trip and locations based on additional phone calls that were made, and we’re looking for any witnesses that may have seen the two together at one of the truck stops,” said Sgt. Terry Bohlig of the Laramie County Sheriff’s Department.
Laramie County Sheriff Pat Barrett said they hope to put together a case that’s strong enough “to not rule out the death penalty.” Barrett said they would file a warrant to extradite Jesperson to Wyoming once his Washington trial is finished.
The department said Subrize may have met Jesperson on Jan. 25 at a Spokane truck stop where she was trying to find a ride back to Colorado to visit her father. Officials believe the woman was killed inside Jesperson’s truck at a truck stop on Interstate 80 just east of Cheyenne two days later.
