Cora Okonski from Iowa was MURDERED say police after cold case review

Missing Iowa mother, 23-year-old Cora Okonski (left and right with her child), who vanished without a trace in 2000 is believed to be a homicide victim, law enforcement officials said Thursday. A review by a multi-agency task force has concluded that Okonski's 'disappearance was not voluntary,' the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement. The agency said that it has reclassified Okonski's disappearance as a homicide rather than a missing persons case and that it was under investigation by state and local police and prosecutors. Police have never identified a suspect in her disappearance. But Okonski's ex-boyfriend, Tait Purk (inset), has long faced scrutiny from police and the public since he was with her the night she disappeared. The two were scheduled to be married one month after she vanished, and they had a volatile relationship that was marked by drug use and fighting. He has denied involvement in Okonski's disappearance, telling police that she left their home to walk to the store to buy cigarettes and never returned. Purk has said he told Okonski he wanted to put off their wedding date earlier that day and that she became upset. He reported her missing to police two days after she was last seen.
