Loreese Hennagin was last seen in Kenai, Alaska on October 10, 1996, where she had lived for 15 years. Shortly before her disappearance, Loreese told friends she feared somebody might kill her. She was reported missing October 11 by friends and family.
In November 2000, a Kodiak jury convicted Nestor Seaman, of Nikiski, of conspiring to kidnap and murder Loreese. A key state witness told jurors that he lured Loreese Hennagin to the Cook Inlet beach and left her with Rocky Seaman, who is charged with kidnapping and murder in connection with her disappearance. It is believed was she killed at the Cook Inlet beach.
According to court documents, Seaman is accused of stabbing Loreese to death in an ambush murder arranged by his mother. Another man, Jeff Lackey, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the case in exchange for testifying against Seaman.
Prosecutors say Seaman killed Loreese in revenge for a burglary at his mother's home carried out by Loreese and Seaman's brother. The dealers believed she had stolen drugs.
