When Jerry Cassaday died unexpectedly in Odessa, Missouri, a murder inquiry was launched hundreds of miles away.
The documents and evidence discovered in Jerry’s apartment established a strong link between him and the 1999 murder of Bruce Miller, which occurred just months before Jerry’s death in 2000.
Jerry worked as a pit supervisor at a casino in Reno, Nevada, after retiring from the police force. Sharee, Bruce’s wife, saw Jerry in person at the casino a few months before he was slain while she was in town for a convention.
By then, the two had already communicated online and had begun a full-fledged relationship. Jerry met Sharee during a difficult point in his life, according to someone who knew him. He’d relocated to a new place, and his marriage was coming to an end.
Sharee lied to Jerry about Bruce being a member of the mafia and abusing her. Sharee also revealed to Jerry that she was pregnant with his kid twice despite being unable to do so due to a surgery she underwent many years ago.
Jerry had been in difficulty with the law and had lost custody of his kid by the time he killed Bruce. Jerry struggled much more after Sharee left him, and he became an abusive drinker.
Jerry was discovered dead in his Odessa apartment on February 11, 2000.
The 39-year-old was sitting in an easy chair, a Bible on his lap, and with a wound made by a .22-caliber rifle
