In early 1972, Nancy Anderson was a 19-year-old who had been living in Hawaii for less than a year after graduating high school.
On January 7, 1972, Anderson was found dead in her Waikiki apartment. She had been stabbed more than 60 times.
Police spent 50 years trying to solve her murder, reopening the case numerous times and coming up with new suspects, the New York Post reported. Authorities spoke to a pair of door-to-door knife salesmen who had visited Anderson’s home just hours before her murder, along with former boyfriends and the apartment building’s property manager – but all leads came up empty.
The case went cold until earlier this year, when a tipster suggested 77-year-old Tudor Chirila, the former deputy attorney general of Nevada with a history of sordid affairs, may have been the one to kill Anderson back in 1972. Police obtained a DNA sample from Chirila’s son, John, and determined that the DNA they collected showed John was the biological child of whoever’s DNA was found at the crime scene 50 years earlier.
Earlier this month, police executed a search warrant and obtained DNA from Tudor Chirila directly. Two days after police obtained the sample, on September 8, Chirila tried to commit suicide, the Reno Gazette Journal reported. A week later, he was arrested and sent to the county jail in Reno, Nevada, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. He was held without bail and charged with being a fugitive from another state and the murder of Nancy Anderson.
Chirila has been an attorney in Reno, Carson City, and the Lake Tahoe area. In the late 1970s, just years after Anderson’s murder, Chirila became Nevada’s deputy attorney general. Decades later, in 1994, he unsuccessfully ran for the Nevada Supreme Court.
Four years after his failed Supreme Court bid, Chirila was named in a federal indictment as the former president of a company that worked as a front for Joe Conforte, a Nevada brothel boss who owned the infamous Mustang Ranch. The indictment alleged that Conforte and others had conspired to defraud the government after the Mustang Ranch was seized by the IRS. Conforte was accused of hiding his assets during bankruptcy proceedings in order to buy back the brothel after it was seized, sold for back taxes, and then repurchased by Conforte. Conforte allegedly used A.G.E. Corp., where Chirila was president, to buy back the legal brothel.
Chirila testified as a government witness, saying he was aware of Conforte’s ownership of A.G.E. Corp. Conforte fled when the case went to trial in 1999, the Post reported.
In 1998, Chirila sued Conforte for $14 million, claiming he was wrongly fired because he cooperated with federal prosecutors. The lawsuit was dismissed.
I would shoot that man in Reno, just to watch him die.
For CASH?...........................
Since they do not mention his party affiliation, I suppose it’s safe to say he ran as a Democrat.
This sad sack POS can’t even commit suicide properly.
Wow.
Once again just goes to show you can’t make this stuff up.
What DIDN’T this guy do? Sheesh.
i’d give you cash for that.

Any guesses who the tipster might have been? lol
I was lookin’ at a new Two-door Chirilla down at the Toyota dealer the other day.
Sleazebags gonna sleaze ...
“...the former deputy attorney general of Nevada with a history of sordid affairs...”
a history of sordid affairs
That’s certainly one way to put it but it don’t hardly say it that’s for sure.

Yep even the hill doesn’t acknowledge political affiliation so safe to assume he’s a Demonrat. Interesting scandals in the above article; none that would pass prosecutorial muster in today’s Demonrat culture of degradation.
This guy’s right up there with Whitey Bulger.
"It will be as though she never existed."
Assisted or benign suicide is a good option sometimes.
Should have just let him be and off himself.
Would have saved a lot of time and money.
Justice is justice.
Chirila was an assistant AG under Democrat Attorney General, and later Governor, Richard Bryan, in Nevada.
“”Authorities spoke to a pair of door-to-door knife salesmen who had visited Anderson’s home just hours before her murder, along with former boyfriends and the apartment building’s property manager – but all leads came up empty.””
When America was America, your wife home alone and she could let in door-to-door knife salesmen and other door-to-door men.
“Chirila Did Not Kill Himself.”
I know a lot about Joe Conforte, the Mafia pimp at the Mustang Ranch.
I wrote the only real biography of Harry Reid. I was a whistleblower to the Salt Lake City District Attorney who had Reid cold on three bribe charges.
One of my sources was Harry Reid’s first campaign manager from 65 to 75. Don had on a number of occasions picked up “bags of cash” from Conforte for Reid. He also said Conforte’s Cadillac trunk was filled with ballots.
Yes, I talked to the FBI, they knew about all of this. Wh do you think covered up the bribe charges? FBI Utah director Huber.
But no one cared enough to back me up, weak kneed Republicans. There were many more bribes I knew about. Adam Laxalt knew, that’s why he won’t talk to me. Runs like a little chicken. Only reason I haven’t made a stink is Cortez Mastos’ dad Manny was also juiced by the Mafia thugs at the Crazy Horse Saloon, where Tony the Ant Spilotro hung out.
Chirila was charged in 1995 with kidnapping, battery, an attempt to commit sexual assault, and assault with a deadly weapon. The allegations were that Chirila became angry with his live-in girlfriend who wanted to end the relationship, he taped her hands, mouth, and legs, then held her down with a pair of scissors, attempted to sexually assault her, and threatened to kill her if she moved. The victim told police that eventually, Chirila let her go to a restaurant to meet with a friend.
Those charges were dismissed in Nevada and Chirila didn’t even have to make an initial appearance in court. The District Attorney’s office in Washoe County did their own investigation, and with Chirila’s attorney, Ed Basl, it was mutually agreed that charges should have not been filed. Not only was it decided that Chirila should not have to appear in the courtroom or mount a defense at all, they also decided to dismiss it with prejudice and seal the case, too.
