Family and friends plan to gather in Sioux City tomorrow to highlight the unsolved murder of a Native American woman more than 30 years ago.

Danielle LaPointe is the niece of Lori Ann DeCora, who died five weeks after she was beaten and stabbed in an attack at a house party in 1992.
LaPoint says one person was arrested but never prosecuted.

“She was just missed. I feel like on all fronts,” LaPointe says, “and we were just trying to bring that awareness and bring that back, like, hey, here, she’s a cold case, she’s right there from Sioux City, Iowa, like she’s not forgotten. She is somebody’s family member.”
'DeCora was a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. A spokesperson from the Sioux City Police Department says the case isn’t closed and anyone with new evidence should contact authorities.'

Lori was 24 years old when she attended a party at 1219/1221 West 4th street in Sioux City, Iowa on February 3rd, 1992. Partygoers reported that at about 2:30am 3 female suspects and 1 male chased Lori out of the party. She was later found beaten and stabbed outside a home. Her killers then attempted to load her into a personal vehicle, which they failed to do. Someone else at the party called for an ambulance.

Lori fought to live for a month at the hospital before succumbing to the injuries to her heart and lungs. She died on March 10th, 1992. No suspects have been named in this case and Lori's murder remains unsolved.''
