Mesa Police link two homicides
The Mesa Police Department has linked two
unsolved homicides that occurred in Mesa, AZ through
forensic evidence.
On November 1, 2004, a 25 year-old female victim
who was identified as Alisa Marie Beck was located
deceased in an alleyway in the area of Country Club
and McLellan in Mesa, AZ. Alisa Beck was located
partially clothed and the death was ruled a homicide
by the investigators of the Maricopa County Medical
Examiner’s Office. Mesa Police Investigators have
worked extensively on this incident and have not
established any investigative leads.
On October 24, 2007, a 44 year-old female victim
who was identified as Karen Jane Campbell was
located deceased on the roadway in the area of 2200
N. Winthrop in Mesa, AZ. Karen was unclothed when
she was located. The Maricopa County Medical
Examiners Office ruled this case as a homicide.
Similar to Alisa Beck’s case, Mesa Police have
analyzed every piece of information; however, they
have not been successful in developing any possible
leads.
Mesa Police Investigators have been able to
establish the two female victims had a history of
drug abuse and prostitution. Alisa and Karen did not
have an established permanent residence and their
associates were known to have been drug abusers.
Due to the fact these cases are actively on going
and sensitive, we cannot provide specific
information on how these cases are connected at this
time.
The Mesa Police Department is asking anyone who
may have information on any of the two cases to
please call Mesa Police at 480-644-2211 or Silent
Witness at 480-WITNESS.
