Read on to find out how Anna Repkina was killed, why, and more. Repkina moved to America just to be with her lover.
In 2017, Anna wanted to give her online relationship with William Hargrove a breakthrough, so she decided to move to the US. Little did she know that her boyfriend was also dating Michelle Chavez.
When Anna made her relationship official on the social media platform, Chavez was furious. Worse yet, Hargrove gave Anna the very ring that Chavez once gave to her boyfriend, as a token of their relationship.
Chávez’s ultimatum
Chavez, enraged, gave Hargrove an ultimatum. He told William that if Anna was going to stay in her life, she would have to lose Chavez. However, during her trial, Chávez admitted that he did not intend for her to be killed.
After receiving the ultimatum, William borrowed a shotgun from a friend and killed her. He reportedly told his friend that he lent her the shotgun that he wanted to “go into the woods and blow off some steam.”
Repkina’s body was dumped among other rubbish
Anna’s body was discovered by two caretakers. He was dumped in a secluded spot in Alsea. The caretakers immediately informed the police and they were able to find enough evidence around him to track down the perpetrator.
Anna was discarded along with some cigarette cartons, candy wrappers and fast food bags. However, among the trash was a bill from a fast food company. This was the most important clue the investigators found.
William began to withdraw money from Anna’s bank account.
After killing Anna, William was out shopping. He paid for his car insurance with Anna’s money and started buying cigarettes and Legos. His friend said that he often bought things that he did not need.
However, it seemed that William regretted killing Anna, as some chats with friends online revealed that he often asked how to stop her “best friend” of hers from doing something he shouldn’t.
William was charged with second-degree murder.
William was arrested shortly thereafter and convicted of identity theft and second-degree murder. In January 2020, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole only after 25 years. He is currently serving his sentence at the Snake River Correctional Institution.
