DUCT TAPE KILLER

On August 27, l994 Larisa Dumansky, a young mother of two, clocked out of work from John Morrell’s about one a.m., walked to her car in the parking lot and was never seen again.  The Sioux Falls Police Department spent hundreds of hours searching for her but found nothing.

On November 10, 1994, about nine p.m., Amy Anderson hit a metal object on the road while driving west of Tea.  She stopped to examine her badly damaged tire.  Two men driving an older maroon Monte Carlo also stopped, Amy believed, to help her change her tire.  But, as she opened the trunk of her car, one of the men grabbed her and dragged her toward the ditch.  Amy fought back, broke free, and ran down the road into the path of an oncoming car.  The two women in that car picked Amy up and they watched the two men jump into the Monte Carlo and speed away into the dark.  Amy reported the attempted kidnapping to the local police but no suspects were identified.

Then, shortly before noon on July 29, 1996, Piper Streyle disappeared from her home in rural McCook County and was never seen again.  However, her two children, a three year old girl and a two year old boy, were home and saw what happened.  The little girl told law enforcement that a “mean man” driving a “black car with black wheels” carried off her mother and “she is not coming back.”  

Twenty years after law enforcement caught and convicted Robert Leroy Anderson (no relation to Amy Anderson) and Glen Walker for these horrific crimes, the compelling story is now a book entitled DUCT TAPE KILLER.  Phil and Sandy Hamman, authors of “Gitchie Girl” and ‘Gitchie Girl Uncovered” collaborated with former South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long, one of the attorneys who prosecuted Anderson, and together wrote Duct Tape Killer.
