Police reopen cold case after information surfaces

Police say new information has prompted them to reopen a 9-year-old unsolved murder case.

Genevive Tetpon, 28, was found stabbed to death March 22, 2000, in brush along the Glenn Highway off Arctic Valley Road, about a quarter-mile from the Fort Richardson gate.

Police never publicly identified a suspect in the slaying and no arrests were ever made.

But now police say they have learned new information that has led them to crack open the file afresh.

Police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said police were not releasing what that information is but that police are asking for additional tips.

Anyone with information about the case should call police at 786-8679 or Crime Stoppers at 561-STOP.
