At 12:13 PM on October 17, Anesha “Duffy” Murnane, a 38-year old Homer woman, was caught on video walking away from her apartment complex, presumably towards a doctor’s appointment she had at 1 PM.  That video is the last known sighting of her.  Murnane was living in the supportive housing apartment due to a recent illness that her family says she had nearly fully recovered from.  Staff there notified the Homer Police Department that she was missing around 10AM on October 19.
