Lisa LeAnne Atkins

88-CRIME
''Store clerk Lisa LeAnne Atkins had just ended a telephone call with her mother when a hooded stranger walked into the Village Pet Mart, 3684 W. Orange Grove Road, on April 4, 1988.

Atkins was checking on her 13-month-old son, who her mother was babysitting.

The 22-year-old and a male clerk were standing at the checkout counter when the hooded man pulled out a gun and demanded money. The nervous male clerk fumbled with the keys to open the register and dropped them. When he bent down to retrieve the keys, the robber shot and killed Atkins.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department had a detailed enough description of the killer to release a sketch. He was a bearded man with sandy brown or dark blond hair, age 25 to 30, standing 5-foot-11 and weighing about 170 pounds. They think he was driving a green, older model pickup truck with wooden sides or a white camper shell.''

''The murder of a young woman in broad daylight with an eyewitness is still unsolved more than 30 years later.

Lisa LeAnne Atkins was born in 1966. It's a day her mother, Martha Demaniou, will never forget.

"She was fun-loving," Demaniou said. "She loved animals. Absolutely adored animals."

One of the animals Lisa loved was a parrot that squawked in the background as Demaniou spoke.''

''Demaniou said she believes, still, that Lisa had a premonition.

"I believe she thought she was going to die because she kind of distanced herself a little bit," Demaniou said. "Last few months, she was a little less close."

The 22-year-old was at work the day before Easter in 1988 when an armed robber walked into the Village Pet Mart on Orange Grove.''
''Anyone with information about what happened to Lisa or who murdered her is encouraged to call 911 or 88crime.''
