EXECUTIVE ORDER 07-15

WHEREAS, on December 28, 1995, Salina Police Officers were dispatched to 721 W. Cloud #54, Salina, Kansas.  Upon arrival, officers found Gina Cyphers dead on the floor of her living room, where she had been stabbed and strangled by an unknown suspect; and

WHEREAS, since that time, officers of the Salina Police Department, Saline County Sheriff’s Department, McPherson County Sheriff’s Department, McPherson Police Department, Marion County Sheriff’s Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (“KBI”) have put hundreds of hours into this case with negative results; and

WHEREAS, although suspects have been developed, additional evidence is needed for successful prosecution.  In spite of the diligent efforts of investigating officers, the KBI lab and the FBI lab, this case remains unsolved and all known investigative leads have been exhausted.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of authority vested in me by K.S.A. 75-113, I, Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of the State of Kansas, do hereby offer a reward of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals who committed the homicide of Gina Cyphers.
