Corpse-Sex Gal Set to Start Snitching in Hickory St. Nightmare Murder Case

Alisa Massaro, who police said had sex on top of two newly killed young men, is scheduled to be the first witness Thursday morning.

When Alisa Massaro was taken into custody and questioned about the strangulation deaths of two young men in January 2013, she said “she wanted to go to prison because her life is ‘f----d up’ and she just wanted to go to prison,” according to police reports obtained exclusively by Patch.

Massaro also reportedly told the cops “she was not protecting anyone and if anyone needed protection it would be Beth (McKee) because Beth has a child.”

Massaro’s way of looking at things seems to have changed somewhat in the last year and seven months. She is getting to go to prison—but theplea deal she struck with prosecutors will get her out in less than three and a half years, a much shorter stretch than the life sentence she was looking at when she was up on murder charges.

And as part of that plea deal Massaro won’t be protecting McKee. In fact, prosecutors plan to put Massaro on the witness stand first thing Thursday morning so she can start snitching on the friend she was supposedly so worried about a year and a half ago.

McKee, also 20, is the first of Massaro’s three former co-defendants to stand trial for the murders of 22-year-old Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover. Massaro is scheduled to appear on the trial’s fourth day as prosecutors appear to have their case about wrapped up.

The remaining alleged killers, Joshua Miner, 26, and Adam Landerman, 21, remain in the Will County jail awaiting their own murder trials.

McKee, Miner, Landerman and Massaro were broke and badly wanted to buy booze and cigarettes, said prosecutor Tricia McKenna, so they hatched a plot to kill and rob Rankins and Glover.

Massaro and McKee lured the two young men to Massaro’s home on Hickory Street, according to police reports. Soon after Rankins and Glover 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 thenconcocted a plan to dismember the corpses of their victims and began procuring supplies, including a blowtorch, to carry out the plan, 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.

Massaro’s father, Phillip Massaro, testified Wednesday. Phillip Massaro told how he was home the night of the killing, sleeping on a couch on the first floor of his house while his daughter, McKee, Miner, Landerman, Rankins and Glover were upstairs.

Phillip Massaro said a loud thrashing woke him about 9:30 that night. He shouted up at the ceiling and noticed his daughter and McKee were in the room with him.

“I asked what was going on up there because there was still a noise,” he said, and his daughter told him “the TV was falling off the dresser and there were problems, there was two dudes.”

Phillip Massaro said he told his daughter and McKee to “keep it down up there and shortly after that the noise stopped and I said, ‘Good, keep it down.’”

Phillip Massaro went to his factory job the next morning without ever checking on what was going on upstairs.
