Sonya Ivanoff was one of those seekers.Article continues below advertisement Ivanoff moved to Nome from Unalakleet after graduating high school in 2002.

13, a body was discovered by a member of the search team looking for Ivanoff. The next day, authorities "confirmed publicly that the body they had found at the gravel pit outside of town was Ivanoff's." When Florence Habros heard this news, she felt a responsibility to tell the police what she saw the night Sonya disappeared. Habros was also terrified because she witnessed Ivanoff leave with a police officer.

"I was shaking," she said.Article continues below advertisement After sharing this important information with the police, Habros said nothing happened for weeks. When police finally did get in touch with Habros, they claimed her name had been taken down wrong. It's a common mistake when they receive so many calls about a case.

The story gets even more bizarre as Owens took extra steps to point the police away from him. What did he do and where is he now? <h2>Where is Matthew Owens now </h2> The Seattle Times notes that prosecutor Richard Svobodny asserted Owens "committed the murder and a few weeks later staged the theft of a patrol vehicle, where an ominous note addressed to police was found." Article continues below advertisement In the note, Owens repeatedly refers to cops as "pigs" and claims "Sonya was just a person in the wrong place at the wrong time." He ended it by threatening to "shoot you in the head if you get close," (Owens v State).

On April 27, 2007, then-governor of Alaska Sarah Palin signed the Sonya Ivanoff Act into law. The law "mandates the maximum sentence for first-degree murder when committed by an on-duty peace officer." While nothing will ever bring Sonya Ivanoff back, this is the only silver lining that could have come from such a tragic death. Tune into Dateline Friday at 9 p.m.
