Still of prison bus camera footage showing Curtis Stocker, a.k.a. the "Dine and Dash Killer", subduing a guard
The remains of 32-year old LaWanda Sykes were discovered by a pair of joggers in Middle Park yesterday. The gruesome remains consisted of several severed body parts including a head, hands, and feet. Autopsy results indicated that the remains all belonged to Ms. Sykes who was reported missing on Monday.
Ms. Sykes was last seen on Sunday night leaving work at the Burger Shot located in the Meat Quarter district of Algonquin. On Monday morning, Ms. Sykes' grandmother, who lives with Ms. Sykes, discovered that she had not returned home from work the night before and had not called or left a message. Ms. Sykes' grandmother filed a missing persons report with police, saying, "LaWanda would never stay out all night and not call."
Last month's story regarding the escape of known serial killer and cannibal Curtis Stocker, otherwise known as the "Dine and Dash Killer", has caused many to speculate whether Ms. Sykes could be the first in a new series of victims.
On Aug 11th, Stocker and five other inmates were being transported from a police station in Leftwood, Alderney to the Alderney State Correctional Facility in Acter Industrial Park. The police convoy was attacked by what was believed to be a member of the violent Lost Brotherhood motorcycle club while en route to the prison. The attacker was able to hijack the bus carrying the inmates and evade the police, freeing the prisoners. Two officers were killed during the hijacking. Police believe that the hijacker may have been hired by one or more of the criminals on board, as several of them were wealthy businessmen convicted of white collar crimes.
Stocker was arrested in Alderney late last year, bringing an end to a brutal series of murders spanning at least 40 victims over four years and across nine states.
Stocker would generally abduct his victims and keep them alive for days or weeks while he systematically removed and ate parts of their bodies. Random body parts disposed in variable fashion were routinely found by police throughout Stocker's spree.
Police Spokesman Anthony Pizzerelli held a press conference earlier this morning to address fears that the Dine and Dash Killer could be at large in Liberty City. He said that police were "feverishly investigating all angles of the case, but that so far there was no evidence to suggest that this could be the work of the Dine and Dash Killer".
