The Power of the Press.. Wanted Couple found dead.

The Power of the Press.. Wanted Couple found dead.

Recently I had someone ask me about the influence of the press and how people reacted to the power of the press.

I responded by saying; the power of the press is remarkable. For the most part we the people want to have faith and belief in what’s being reported to us by the media. Some people believe everything the press reports, some dispute that same information and some of course form their own opinion. So to determine how the press affects people is really hard to tell in my opinion. I think the press does have a big influence with a lot of people.

And now we have this case and how the Power of the Press affected two Arizona women.

I posted an America’s Most Wanted Update on the Most Wanted Women.

The update included the hunt for Tina Loesch and Skye Henson. The update reported that in 1998, Barbara Loesch was electrocuted and drowned in her hot tub. Two years earlier, her husband was gunned down while working his morning paper route. Cops believe their daughter and her gay lover may have been behind both deaths -- both for revenge, and for $525,000 in life insurance.

A few hours after that story aired on AMW, someone discovered a Dodge Durango in a rural part of Tucson, AZ. Inside were the bodies of two women.




The body in the back seat was carrying Tina Loesch’s ID.








The women in the front seat resembled Skye Hanson. Both women were shot in the head.






Police have reported this case to be a suicide pact. They also reported there was an 8 page suicide note left at the scene.

Oddly enough in the 8 pages as they proclaim their love for each other they also take the time in blame hitman Bradley Steckman for the murders they were wanted for.

Police believe that Tina Loesch shot Skye Hanson before turning the gun on herself.

Give a new meaning to love hurts. If they truly could provide information on hitman Bradley Steckman for the murder then why would they take such drastic action and end their own life. Of course we will never know the answers to all the unanswered questions about this case now.

Tina Loesch's son, Kristopher, before their disappearance in 2001.





Police are still looking for Kristopher Loesch, Tina’s teenage son. If you have information about Kristopher Loesch contact the police or AMW.

The vehicle they were found in was registered to a women with past connections to Falls, Idaho. Hopefully the police can find Kristopher Loesch and he can provide some of the answers police need to close this case.
