white female deaths 2021-2

"Following a six-week battle with a previously-undiagnosed brain tumor, Liza transitioned into the next realm peacefully while being cared for by friends and family," Liza Burke's obituary read. "Heaven is undoubtedly rejoicing at her arrival. But she will be missed by so many in her hometown of Asheville, NC, and home-away-from-home, Athens, GA."

In a blog entry from the night of Thursday, April 27, the 21-year-old's mother, Laura McKeithen, wrote that family visited Liza Burke and watched her favorite movie, "Interstellar."

"After the movie ended, Bryan and I went upstairs to sleep while Jack slept hand in hand with his sister," McKeithen wrote in another journal entry. "Once he fell asleep and the only eyes on Liza were those of her 'other mother', Liza took a final breath, sighed, and transitioned into the next realm."

On Friday morning, McKeithen shared "with both relief and belief" that the college student died at around 2:20 a.m.

"Liza has now been reunited with her sister and they are making up for lost time!" she wrote, referring to Liza Burke's late sister, Edie Burke, who died in 2008 at age 9 from a rare genetic disorder.

The family's dog, Beane, "quickly sensed" that Liza Burke had passed, her mom wrote, and came downstairs. She also added that after calling hospice, they dressed Liza Burke in colorful pajamas and her brother Jack Burke's girlfriend braided her hair.

On March 10, Liza Burke complained of a headache while on her trip to Mexico and went to lie down, according to McKeithen. A few hours later, her boyfriend found her unconscious.

Liza Burke was taken to an area hospital, then subsequently transported to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

“The last month has been nothing short of a nightmare, a roller coaster and a love story all rolled up into one,” McKeithen wrote on a GoFundMe page for her daughter. “We give thanks that Liza has survived despite the odds.”

ebra Dusing

On October 28, 1973, a Fort Wayne, Indiana farmer named Kenneth Niemeyer was busy harvesting the year’s crops when he made a grisly discovery; the body of a young woman lay in a field on his property. Kenneth quickly summoned police.

The body was quickly identified as 17-year-old Debra Dusing, a local high school student, by her mother, Juanita. Debra was found in a field just off of Hartzell Road. She was fully clothed and did not appear to have been sexually assaulted. Debra had been stabbed twice and shot once in the chest with a small caliber gun. She had no defensive wounds.

Evidence at the scene indicated Debra had been killed elsewhere, and then dragged into the field by her killer. Investigators discovered a seven inch knife blade lacking its handle at the scene, however it was not publicly confirmed if it was the murder weapon.

Police questioned friends and family of Debra, however, no suspects were ever named. Like Larry, Debra was laid to rest in Fort Wayne, Indiana’s Lindenwood Cemetery. Both of Debra’s parents have also since passed. Her mother, Jaunita passed in 2010, and her father, Dale, in 2002.

I was able to find a photo of Debra however I have been unable to find any additional information about her case.
