Episode 213: Sonya Ivanoff | Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women  
Podcast: True Crime Couple

Description: In August of 2003 Sonya Ivanoff went missing after parting ways with her best friend and roommate. Within hours of being reported missing her body was found in a remote old mining road in Nome, Alaska. Police were shocked by the lack of evidence at the scene. It made them wonder if their killer had done this before…NOTE: In the show I used the term Native American, however, it has been brought to my attention that this is the incorrect terminology. Rather I should have used the term Alaska Native when referencing Sonya Ivanoff and other peoples indigenous to Alaska. I apologize. Patreon.com/truecrimecoupleSponsors:IQ BarText TCC to 64000 to get twenty percent off all IQBAR products, plus FREE shipping.Message and data rates may apply.Sources:https://law.justia.com/cases/alaska/court-of-appeals/2021/a-13016.htmlhttps://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ivanoff-24https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/rural-alaska/2018/08/23/from-2003-nome-police-must-work-to-regain-trust-after-officer-charged-with-murder/https://www.oxygen.com/dateline-unforgettable/crime-news/alaska-officer-matt-owens-convicted-murder-sonya-ivanoffhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/579071706/?match=1&terms=sonya%20ivanoffhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1061988740/?match=1&terms=sonya%20ivanoffhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1061933416/?match=1&terms=sonya%20ivanoffhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1137349180/?match=1&terms=sonya%20ivanoff‘
