Cassandra Boskofsky’s family says she is the woman in photos on Smith’s phone released after his murder convictions this year.
Cassandra Boskofsky’s family hold a photo of Cassandra, who was 38 at about the time she disappeared in 2019. of murder in February for killing two Alaska Native women, and a judge in mid-July sentenced him to 226 years behind bars. In their sentencing memorandum, prosecutors included photos from one of Smith’s cellphones showing another woman who appeared to be unconscious or dead, along with a forensic artist’s sketch of her.
Lisa Ann Christiansen and her daughter joined Friday’s demonstration across the street from the Anchorage Police Department’s headquarters downtown. Christiansen was Cassandra Boskofsky’s aunt. When Marcella Boskofsky Grounds was five years old, she watched after her cousin, Cassandra, whose mother had been killed in an ATV accident. She last saw her in August of 2019.
It’s the department’s policy not to comment on active investigations, according to APD Detective Brendan Lee. Police try to avoid contacting a victim’s family until they have physical evidence, to avoid causing them grief over a case of mistaken identity, he said. “I knew of a lot of cases statewide, and I knew, I knew immediately, that that was Cassandra,” she said. “When regular people can just look at a photo and identify it immediately, that’s really poor investigation.”
Cassandra Boskofsky’s aunt, Terrie Boskofsky, was one of about eight family members at the protest who chanted, “Where is Cassandra?” and “Justice for Cassandra.”“I want them to help find the remains,” she said, “so we can put her to rest.”“She came from a very large family,” Terrie Boskofsky said. “She had 14 aunts and uncles on my side.
MMIP activists have offered two separate $500 rewards, one for information leading to the recovery of Cassandra Boskofsky’s remains and a second that asks for information leading to the arrest of Ian Calhoun, a man prosecutors said was a friend of Smith’s. In the sentencing memo, prosecutors said they believe Calhoun probably knew about one of the murders. So far, he has not been charged in the case.
