Phoenix 'Missing In Arizona' Event Focuses On Thousands Of Cold Cases

“I just miss her. I never really got to grow up with my sister," said Laura Anderson. Anderson’s sister Kristina Perkins disappeared on Sept. 10, 1975. She was just 25.

The investigation that followed yielded few clues and the only investigative lead was Perkins’ ex-husband.

"He and Kris had fought about something I don’t even remember what it was," said Anderson "He was so mad at her, he said, ‘Your sister’s dead. If anybody asks me about her I’m just going to tell them she died of cancer.’ I will never forget those words. It was like, ‘Oh my God.’"

Police were never able connect Perkins’ ex to her disappearance. He’s since died. Anderson plans to attend the “Missing in Arizona” event so she can meet other families who understand this kind of loss.

Forty years have passed since Perkins vanished. Her parents have since passed away. Anderson thinks her sister is dead, but that doesn’t lessen her need for closure.

"You have dreams once in a while. I had a dream that she was standing right there and, God, that just drives you crazy."

After her disappearance, Perkins's ex-husband told her sister they'd gotten into a fight and Perkins was dead. Authorities were never able to prove he was involved in her disappearance, and he is now deceased.

Perkins was employed as a dental assistant at the time of her disappearance. Her parents have since died, but her sister is still alive and hopes for answers in her case. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.
 
What if any clues were left in the car? Did she have a reason to be where here car was found? Where exactly was it found abandoned? Did the ex husband have any connection to the area? At that time there was not a lot of anything in that area. Did she have a boyfriend? Anyone harassing her? Where did the ex go after dropping her off? Did he have an alibi? So many questions...

What do we know abut her ex husband, Russell Perkins?
It's said he died (when and how?). According to some sources, he practically confessed the crime to Laura, so... where he may have disposed of her body? Did he own any property nearby?
I found this but I don't know for sure he is Kris' ex husband. Russell L. Perkins (1946-2000) - Find a Grave...

In this case there is no need to focus on who the murderer was, whoever it is, he is already dead... the important thing is to know where her body is, to give her a holy burial, to give her family answers... and if I believe that her ex-husband killed her But where did she leave her body... I don't think she was a bad woman and I hope with all my heart that her death was not violent...
either way
rest in peace
