The Obscure Streetwalker Strangler

The first was on March 14, 1986, when the body of Catherine Barry was found under scrap plywood in a derelict building a few miles from downtown, her usual haunt.

Catherine Barry

Barry, 34, was the only victim who was not a prostitute. She was a mother of three who had a mental breakdown and ended up on the streets.

Naomi Kelly

Two other women were killed 14 weeks apart later that year, Naomi Kelly, 23, found on Aug. 16, and Debbie Blevins, 32, found on Nov. 27, Thanksgiving Day.

Kelly, a single mother, was found strangled in a needle park downtown. The body of Blevins, naked except for socks, had been dumped outside a church not far from the trendy Westport neighborhood.

In 1987, five more corpses turned up.

Ann Barnes

Ann Barnes, 36, a stripper, was found murdered on April 17, 1987, which was both Good Friday and the 10-year anniversary of the murder of Stacie Swofford, the first victim.

Kellie Ann Ford

Seven weeks later, Kellie Ann Ford, a 20-year-old junkie hooker, was found strangled in a city park. On Sept. 12, the shoeless corpse of Angela Mayhew, 19, turned up in North Kansas City.

The pace of the serial killings slowed after that brutal stretch. The body of Helga Kruger, 26, an Austrian national, was found on Troost Avenue on Feb. 12, 1989. Four years later, Connie Luther, the presumed final victim, was found dead in January 1993.
