Rissell Gets 4 Life Terms In Murders

By Jane Seaberry October 12, 1977

An investigation that started in August, 1976, with what a policeman describes as no more than a gut reaction ended yesterday with the sentencing of 18-year-old Montie Ralph Rissell to four consecutive life prison terms for slaying four Alexandria women.

Rissell, sentenced in Alexandria Circuit Court, had once been arrested on an attempted robbery charge by Alexandria police Det. John W. Turner and lived in the western Alexandria neighborhood where the four women and Turner himself lived. (Rissell has also been convicted of slaying a fifth woman, who worked in the western Alexandria area, and is to be sentenced Monday by a court in Fairfax County for her death.)

The first of the slayings - that of Aura Marina Gabor, 26 - occurred on Aug. 4, 1976. She was found strangled with her own brassiere.
