Anita Knutson was born to be a teacher. But she didn't live to see her dream fulfilled. While pursuing her calling, the North Dakota native's life was brutally cut short when she was found stabbed to death, facedown on her own bed in her apartment.
When she enrolled as a freshman at Minot State University—about an hour from her tinyhometown of Butte, where her father was once the mayor—in 2007, Anita was pursuing that calling, her younger sister Anna recalled in an interview with The Daily Beast.
That short travel time proved invaluable in June 2007, when Anita did not respond to her parents’ calls all weekend while they were in Bismarck for their son, Daniel’s, baseball tournament. Noting that it was “very uncommon not to hear from her,” Anna said, her mother asked her father to drive up to Minot that Monday to check on the incoming sophomore.
For most of Anna Knutson’s early life, she remembers wanting to be just like her older sister. While she and her brother, Daniel, were just a year apart, Anita was three years older—an age difference that led Anna to admire everything her big sister did. Chief Klug said that the last time anyone heard from Anita was that Saturday. Minot Police investigator Dave Goodman told thein 2012 that Anita did not show up to her shift at a local hotel—where she worked her second job—that day. Denise Tobey, the front desk clerk at Minot’s Fairfield Inn, told thein 2007 that Anita had worked at the hotel for about a year, her job mainly consisting of helping housekeepers clean the rooms.
Matt Murphy, a student at Minot State University who lived in the apartment across the yard from Anita’s, told theat the time that he noticed her bedroom window was broken on Monday morning—and that glass was on the ground. More bizarre was the realization that Anita’s car was still parked a few yards away from her front door and that nothing appeared to be missing from her apartment.in 2012. “This is one of those cases that hangs over your head. It is frustrating.”
“Speaking for all of us at Minot State, we are extremely saddened by this loss of one of our students. We have extended our deepest condolences to Anita’s family,” heKlug said that the Minot Police Department collected DNA samples from everyone close to Anita and interviewed widely in their efforts to solve the case.
