>Molly McClure, 28, was raped and strangled in her Seattle apartment on January 17, 1986 by Kvay Knight, a 26 year old African-American man who lived with his girlfriend in the same apartment complex. McClure, who lived alone, had only recently moved into the apartment. She was pursuing a career in hotel management and worked in a downtown Seattle hotel at the time of her death. Knight had a prior rap sheet and was suspected of involvement in the robbery of a VHS rental store in 1984 where four black men tied up the store clerk as they ransacked the place.
>Knight had not broken into McClure's apartment, rather he befriended her and she invited him in a few times until the fatal incident happened. SPD detectives used fiber analysis to prove that Knight had been in the apartment. He was spotted and apprehended near the Boeing plant three weeks later.
>Convicted of McClure's murder, Knight was sentenced to life with no possibility of parole. As of 2023 he is still serving his sentence at Walla Walla State Penitentiary.
