In Anchorage, Alaska on February 22, 2024, 53-year-old South African immigrant Brian Steven Smith was convicted in 14 charges including first and second-degree murder, sexual assault, tampering with physical evidence and misconduct involving a corpse for the murders of 52-year-old Veronica Abouchuk and 30-year-old Kathleen Jo Henry. Both women were from small villages in western Alaska and had experienced homelessness and addiction. Smith was connected to the murders in September of 2019, when a stolen phone containing gruesome photos and videos spanning over a five-day period, which included the brutal beating and strangulation of a woman was turned over to the Anchorage police. Strangely enough, the police recognized the voice in the videos as that of Brian Steven Smith, a South African native they knew from a previous investigation. So, what would make a man without a criminal history to become such a sinister monster.
