Jerome Glaser

Jerome Glaser was born to Lillian Yudkowitz and Samuel Glaser in New York, New York, on January 3, 1944. He had two siblings, an older brother Paul and a younger sister Sylvia Glaser. Jerome was a veteran of the United States Air Force. He enlisted on November 5, 1963 and he was discharged on November 3, 1967. Jerome Glaser, who was 24 years old, married Dorothy Virginia Dillon, who was 30 years old, in May of 1968 in Broward County, Florida. They had a son and a daughter, David Landon Glaser and Jennifer Ann Glaser, and lived in Georgia. In late 1985 the family began to receive threatening calls and found a lurker nearby their house. In early October Jerome was shot during a home invasion which evidently resulted in some sort of brain trauma, and by the end of the month he was fatally shot. See Jury: Man killed accidentally in struggle with wife for the December 1985 court case results. According to Murderpedia, Jerome's wife Dorothy attempted to hire someone to shoot Jerry, but that first attempt in early October failed and Jerry survived. A few weeks later, Dorothy, herself, shot and killed Jerry. She described the incident as being a "struggle for the gun". At first, his death was ruled accidental, but it was later changed to homicide. The details of the story are complex and deceitful. You can read a reprise at A Georgia Murder. Dorothy was convicted of murder and received a life sentence, along with a 10-year sentence for attempted murder on August 20, 1993.

In November of 2016, Jerry's murder was featured on an episode of "Your Worst Nightmare" on the ID channel. You can find a memorial to Jerry at Find A Grave.
