Corpse Sex Gal 'Embarrassed' She Had Sex On Corpses

Alisa Massaro didn't want to talk about having sex on top of dead bodies but admitted to it in the end.

The star witness in the Nightmare on Hickory Street murder case was ashamed of having sex on top of two freshly killed corpses, but owned up to it during a lengthy police interrogation.

The attorney for alleged Hickory Street killer Bethany McKee wanted the interrogation video played in hopes of discrediting witness Alissa Massaro.

McKee and Massaro, both 20, along with Joshua Miner, 26, and Adam Landerman, 21, all were arrested in January 2013 and charged with the strangulation deaths of 22-year-olds Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover.

Massaro wiggled out of the murder case by copping a plea to reduced charges of robbery and concealing homicides. Massaro’s deal with prosecutors cleared the way for her to walk out of prison in less than three and a half years. She had been looking at a possible life sentence.

In exchange for letting her slide on the murder charges, prosecutors secured Massaro’s testimony against McKee, Miner and Landerman. She started her snitching last week with the commencement of McKee’s murder trial.

When Massaro was on the witness stand last week, McKee’s attorney, Chuck Bretz, repeatedly belittled her as a dishonest opportunist more than willing to “throw (McKee) under the bus.” Bretz at one point asked Massaro if she is now a “reformed liar” and if she remembered telling detectives, “Everyone thinks I’m a liar and a whore.”

Bretz also asked Massaro if she had sex on the bodies of Rankins and Glover. She denied it, but in the video of her interrogation admits doing so to detectives.

Massaro did say she was “embarrassed” about having sex with Miner on the corpses and only confessed after much prodding by detectives.

Massaro also expressed concern for her ex-convict lover and frets about him getting locked up for life.

“He’s got a past,” Massaro told detectives about Miner.

“I’m scared I’ll never see him again,” she said.

Massaro and McKee lured Rankins and Glover to Massaro’s home on Hickory Street, according to police reports obtained exclusively by Patch.

Soon after the two young men arrived, Miner and Landerman strangled them and went through their pockets looking for cash.

Once Rankins and Glover were dead, the reports said, Massaro and Miner had sex atop their bodies. Massaro, McKee, Miner and Landerman then decided to dismember the corpses of their victims and began procuring supplies, including a blowtorch, to carry out the gruesome job, the reports said. Miner reportedly intended to keep the dead men’s teeth as trophies.

McKee was at Massaro’s home with her baby daughter but left the room before the killings, the reports said. McKee later took off from the house and met with her father, Bill McKee, in hopes he would help dispose of the bodies, police said. Bill McKee instead called the cops.
