Kathryn 'Katie' Rose Anderson, 19

MN, Morris

December 3, 2009

Katie had moved from Morris to the Twin Cities earlier this year to attend Le Cordon Bleu College where she was studying to be a pastry chef.

Everyone knew how much she loved fishing, hunting, and wintry weather.

After Ryan Hurd, her estranged boyfriend, had assaulted Katie on October 29th, Katie obtained a no contact order in Dakota County. He apparently had assaulted her earlier in October also.

On December 3rd, a passerby found Katie lying in a ditch on a gravel road outside Owatonna. The autopsy indicates that Hurd had stabbed her 109 times and that she had deep abrasions on her body consistent with being thrown onto a gravel surface and sliding along the surface. She died from both the wounds and exposure.

Hurd left the state and went back to his family in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was apprehended. He has confessed to stabbing her and leaving her.

He faces second-degree murder charges.
