Alleged Hickory St. Nightmare Murderer Traded Lovey Dovey Texts With Corpse Sex Gal After Killings: Prosecutor

After allegedly strangling a man to death in his girlfriend’s Hickory Street home, Joshua Miner sent adoring texts to the young woman, who replied that she missed him dearly.

“I love you Alisa baby,” Miner, 26, wrote to Alisa Massaro, the young woman who said she had sex with him atop a pair of freshly killed corpses.

“I hate being away from you,” Massaro, 20, wrote back. “It’s too f—king painful baby. When you come back can you bring cigars?”

Miner and Massaro, along with their pals Adam Landerman, 21, and Bethany McKee, 20, sent the texts back and forth after they had gotten finished with killing 22-year-olds Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover.

Miner, Massaro, McKee and Landerman were arrested and charged with murder the day after the January 2013 killings. McKee was found guilty last month and will be sentenced to life in prison. Landerman remains locked up in the Will County jail while he awaits trial.

Massaro was much luckier. She slipped out of the murder case in May when she copped a plea to reduced charges of robbery and concealing homicides. In exchange, she agreed to testify against her three friends. She already did so at McKee’s trial.

Miner’s trial started Tuesday. The texts, which were extracted from Miner’s phone by Joliet Police Officer Christopher Botzum, were shown in court Wednesday morning.
Besides professing his love for Massaro, Miner also texted a person identified only as “Chicago.” The texts show him trying to sell Glover’s car to Chicago. The alleged killers ended up leaving it on Madison Street.
Miner sent a text to Chicago that suggested he planned to burn the car if they couldn’t find a buyer.

“It has to be gone before tonight,” the text said. “If anything want to watch a fire?”

Chicago’s cell phone has since been disconnected.

Rankins and Glover were killed after Massaro and McKee lured them to Massaro’s home on Hickory Street, according to police reports obtained exclusively by Patch. Not long after Rankins and Glover arrived, Miner and Landerman throttled the two men to death, the reports said.

Miner and his friends hatched the plot to murder Rankins and Glover because they were broke and wanted to buy cigarettes and alcohol, prosecutor Tricia McKenna said during McKee’s murder trial last month.
