Following an autopsy, the State Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled that a 54-year-old woman who was reported missing in September was the victim of a homicide, police say.
The exact details of how Irma Williams died are being withheld, the Anchorage Police Department said in a statement Thursday. Williams was first reported missing Sept. 30 when family members told authorities they had not seen her in weeks, which was unusual behavior, they said.
In mid-October, her body was discovered near the Mountain View Lions Park — an area she was known to frequent — and police began investigating her death as a homicide.
No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing. APD asks anyone with information regarding Williams’ whereabouts leading up to her disappearance to contact them at 786-8900. To remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 561-STOP or submit your tip at anchoragecrimestoppers.com.
