On June 9, 1992, Audra Reeves went outside to play. Robert James Anderson abducted Reeves as she was passing his residence and took her inside, where he attempted to rape her, then choked, stabbed, beat and drowned her. In the early afternoon of the same day, several witnesses reported seeing Anderson pushing a grocery cart up the street with a white ice chest inside. One witness reported seeing Anderson near a dumpster in an alley. One of the witnesses found the ice chest containing Audra’s body in the dumpster. The witness gave a description of Anderson to the police. Anderson was arrested later in the day after he was identified as the individual who pushed the grocery cart. Anderson gave police a written statement in which he admitted to killing Audra and stuffing her body in a white ice chest and dumping the chest in a dumpster.
