Vanished: The Jami Sue Hagel Sherer Case (Part 2)

from PNW Haunts & Homicides · host PNW Haunts and Homicides

What happens when a controlling husband not only silences his wife — but continues to terrorize her loved ones, even from behind bars?By the end of September 1990, 26-year-old Microsoft employee and young mother Jami Sue Hagel Sherer had vanished from Redmond, Washington. Her family, friends, and coworkers searched desperately for answers, and Microsoft even posted a reward to help locate her.But while the community scoured the area for Jami, her husband, Steve Sherer, showed little interest in helping. Just days after her disappearance, he became preoccupied with having his car detailed, staged a suicide attempt, and eventually threatened investigators and prosecutors as the case against him began to build.In Part Two, we follow the years-long investigation that finally brought Steve Sherer to justice. From the incriminating evidence found in his possession to the testimony that unraveled his story, prosecutors built a case strong enough to convict Steve of Jami’s murder — even without her body.But the story didn’t end with his 60-year sentence. Even behind bars, Steve wasn’t finished. What he plotted from prison would leave investigators stunned — and Jami’s family in even greater danger.Listen now to Part Two of this haunting case as we uncover the investigation, trial, and the shocking twist that proved Steve Sherer’s reign of terror didn’t end with his conviction.Visit our website!

American Radical MS NOW, Ayman Mohyeldin Rosanne Boyland hated politics. She was shy, and she rarely left her home in Georgia. But then her family got a shocking call: Rosanne had died at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in the middle of a crowd trying to force its way past a police line. From the depths of their grief, the Boylands vow to figure out what happened to Rosanne. Her brother-in-law, Justin Cave, reaches out to an old high school friend he hopes can help: MS NOW journalist Ayman Mohyeldin. The quest for the truth takes Ayman back to his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia, where he retraces the last six months of Rosanne's life and picks up a trail that leads to childhood haunts, missing boyfriends, and down shadowy internet rabbit holes.
