Person of interest sought in rest stop killing (KC Star)
"The Missouri State Highway Patrol is looking for a woman who may have information in the shooting death of a trucker at a Platte County rest stop.
The person of interest is described as a white woman, approximately 30 years old, 5’6” to 5’7” tall, with a thin build, shoulder-length reddish-blond hair and freckles. She was wearing a blouse with a collar and an unbuttoned jacket or sweater and reportedly has a slight Southern accent.
Investigators also are trying to locate occupants of a white SUV that was seen at the rest area around the time of the homicide.
A motorist discovered the body of 39-year-old Valentin G. Kirilchuk about 8 p.m. Sept. 8 at the rest area just north of Platte City on Interstate 29.
Anyone with information should call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (474-8477). A reward of $1,000 is available for tips leading to the killer’s conviction."
