The Minot Police Department finally agreed to bring in the outside experts we demanded. I am overwhelmed and completely drained, but knowing they are finally seeking the help Anita deserves makes it all worth it.

We, the undersigned, call for action by the Minot Police Department of North Dakota to take the following actions to help bring closure and justice for the murder of Anita Knutson.
· We urge law enforcement:
1. To contact television programs such as Cold Justice so that their experts can shed new light on Anita's case and bring it the national attention it deserves.
2. To contact these shows to:
a) Help bring justice to Anita Knutson's case
b) Help prevent possible future murders from occurring
c) Help bring justice and closure to other possible victims and their families
Anita Knutson was murdered June 4th 2007 in Minot North Dakota while in her off campus dorm room. She had a roommate but her roommate was out of town for the weekend. Anita was stabbed multiple times in the chest and her nails were broken from fighting for her life. The murder weapon was left at the scene along with the DNA she must have collected under her finger nails. The Minot police department deemed this case cold years ago and have done what they can to find her killer but there needs to be more done. They are also resistant to contact any sort of outside help. Sources close to the case believe they are against contacting shows because then their incompetence with this case will be exposed. So the point of this petition is to urge the Minot police department to finally seek the help of others to come one step closer to seeking closure and justice for the murder of Anita Knutson.

Seeing this grow has been heavy because it reminds me of how long Anita has been waiting for the truth. It is exhausting to keep pushing when the walls stay up but your energy is the only thing keeping me going.

The silence from the department remains heavy and frustrating. I keep thinking about Anita fighting for her life while those responsible for finding the truth continue to look the other way. We are not backing down until they finally open the door to outside help.

One hundred people have signed on to demand more for Anita. It feels like a long road ahead and I am exhausted but this proves I am not the only one who refuses to let her story fade.

It's unbelievable that PD would leave Anita's murder languish because they don't want anyone to see their mistakes. Absurd, you, PD need to swallow your pride, be humble and ask for help!!
I thought Minot police department said on crime watch daily that if they run the DNA on the knife again there pretty sure they would get a hit on something so what taking so long!!!
I'm sorry for your loss. she was murdered on my birthday so I feel like I should help as much as I can. I hope you find the monster who did this to your little girl and he gets what he deserves.
Justice and closure must be brought for this family. RIP to her and her little brother. Her brother struggled so tremendously with this incident throughout the years and took his own life.
please help this grieving family- they lost a son last year, too, my son was close friends with him. God bless this family and let's help them find the killer who ultimately took 2 lives
Justice for Anita!!

She deserves justice!!! So does her family. This isn't ok, the "Budget" won't allow for her killer to be caught
