With Word of Bloody Jacket, Searchers Seek Anarae Schunk's Body
Family of the woman last seen at site of alleged Burnsville killing are focused on Lilydale area of Mississippi River and Rosemount/Farmington.
Family, friends and volunteers are targeting their search for Anarae Schunk in and around the Lilydale and Farmington areas Sunday, one week after the 20-year-old student went missing.
Police have found Schunk's jacket—bloody with as many as 20 holes that could be stab wounds—according to the Star Tribune, citing Schunk's family.
Schunk was last seen Sept. 22 at a Burnsville bar with ex-boyfriend Anthony Nelson, who prosecutors charged Thursday with murder in the shooting of Palagor Obang Jobi at the bar. (Lakeville police assisted Burnsville police responding to the incident.)
Burnsville police announced Saturday they had not found Schunk's body but believed she was dead, the victim of homicide.
"Anyone with any information pertaining to this on-going investigation is asked to call the tip line at 952-895-4636," the police statement said.
