ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – An anonymous donor is offering a $10,000 reward to help solve a 35-year-old Minnesota cold case.
Cheryl Prokop was 23-years-old when she was strangled to death in her St. Paul apartment overnight on Dec. 2, 1988. Prokop’s four-year-old daughter found her the next morning and went to the apartment building’s office.
The murder has been under investigation by the St. Paul Police Department and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).
“Despite decades of forensic and investigative efforts, available evidence has not led us to the person or persons responsible for Cheryl’s death,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said. “But we’re continuing to work this case and are hopeful the reward will result in new information.”
Police Chief Axel Henry said victims and their families are never forgotten.
“We will continue to seek those answers and are committed to providing closure for families and bringing every offender to justice,” Henry said.
Prokop’s father, Dick Prokop, said nothing can bring his daughter back, but maybe the reward will lead to some answers.
Anyone with information about who is responsible for Cheryl Prokop’s murder is urged to contact the BCA at 877-996-6222, via email at bca.tips@state.mn.us, or through the BCA’s See It Say It Send It tip app. Information can be provided anonymously.
