One of those people is Sonya Ivanoff. Follow For More Updates on our website or Google News: newsyorbits
After Ivanov finished high school in Unalakleet in 2002, he moved to Nome. Her best friend Timayre told Dateline that Sonia was “determined to earn money and go to college.” Thiemier moved to Nome with Sonia in the summer of 2003. They lived together and did everything together. Sonia went missing on August 11, 2003. Two days later, a volunteer searcher using The Nome Nugget found her body. Who killed Sonia Ivanov? Datelines will tell you.
According to the Anchorage Daily News, Florence Habros and her sister Dennett may be the last two people to see Ivanov alive. On August 11, around 1:30 a.m., Ivanov was standing on the sidewalk in front of her mother’s house. They all said hello and then watched as Ivanov got into a police car that was “driving away in a direction that wouldn’t lead to Ivanov’s house.”
On August 13, the people looking for Ivanov found a dead body. The next day, “authorities confirmed in public that Ivanov’s body was the one they found in a gravel pit outside the city.” When Florence Habros heard this, she had to tell Sonia that she had gone missing. What happened that night? Tell the police. Habros was also scared because she saw Ivanov and a policeman walk away. She said, “I was shaky.”
Habros said that it had been weeks since he told police this important information. When the police finally found Habros, they said that her name was spelled wrong. When they get a lot of calls about the same case, it’s a common mistake. Police are already looking for Matthew Clay Owens, who was working that night and was 28 years old. Not only did the bullet found in Ivanov’s head match Owens’ gun, but he is also being looked into for stalking or having sex with “more than four young women” while on duty.
In October 2003, he was charged with first-degree murder, but he didn’t go to trial until January 2005. When Owens does more to keep the police away from him, the story gets even stranger. What did he do? Where is he right now?
Where is Matthew Owens now?
The Seattle Times reported that prosecutor Richard Svobodny said Owens “committed murder and staged the theft of a police car a few weeks later, which led to the discovery of a threatening letter to the police.”
Owens called the police “pigs” many times in the notes and said, “Sonia was just a person in the wrong place at the wrong time.” He finally said, “If you get too close, I’ll put a gun to your head Shoot. This strange attempt to get people to stop looking at him didn’t work.
Owens’s first trial “ended with a jury still deliberating.” His second try did not work. He was found guilty of murder and tampering with evidence on December 6, 2005. For this, he was given a prison sentence of 101 years, which was upheld after two appeals.
On April 27, 2007, the Sonia Ivanov Act became law. At the time, Sarah Palin was governor of Alaska. The law says that a sheriff on duty who kills someone in the first degree can get the maximum sentence. Even though nothing could bring Sonia Ivanov back, it was the best thing that could have come out of her death.
