Olha Abramova was a 60-year-old White woman found dead from a single gunshot wound to the chest on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2019, in Wasilla, Alaska. Officers began their investigation around 4 a.m. after a man appeared at the Wasilla Police Department with fresh blood on his hands and a .357 caliber Ruger handgun in his pocket. Communication required a Russian/Ukrainian translator; the man told officers he had shot his mom and confirmed she was dead.

Police located Olha’s body outside a church in a north Wasilla neighborhood near Bogard Road and Dellwood Avenue. The man was identified as her 38-year-old son, Denys Abramov. Investigators found a Ruger gun case in the bedroom of the apartment the two shared. Denys Abramov was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and two weapons offenses, and was held at the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility with bail set at $150,000 cash.

Does anyone have information about Olha’s life in Wasilla or about the area around Bogard Road and Dellwood Avenue that could help explain what happened?
