murdered real estate guy

[OriginalNightstalker]

That guy was done in by a former client or a hired gun due to the nature of the shooting. They didn't mention what type of gun was used, although I suspect a higher powered gun(357, at least a 38), as opposed to a 22 which would require more rounds being used.

Are you referring to the murder of Mike Emert?

Oh, okay. I know what case you're talking about: David Merrifield (if I spelled the last name correctly). I recall that the person of interest was someone calling himself "Sam Jones." But it's possible that the name was an alias, especially since "Jones" is an extremely common surname.

Is the Emert case the one involving the real estate agent who was murdered showing a house?

Yes, it is. The murder happened in Washington state on January 4, 2001. The UM profile is at the link below.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the work of a serial killer. From what the episode said the guy is an experienced killer due to the planning, also choosing a real estate agent is clever given the personal interaction that is part of the job. The story didn't mention if the couple had any enemies as well. Although getting stabbed 19 times is the sign of a personal or rage killing.
What do you think?

Please don't think I'm off my rocker but when Montel Williams had one of his "Sylvia Browne Wednesdays" the widow of the real estate agent was on and asked for Sylvia's help.

Sylvia was cagey. To some of you that probably comes as no surprise and for what it's worth Sylvia alluded that it was a mob hit. She gave no specifics other than saying the real estate agent's missing watch was close by in a field near the house where the agent was murdered. For whatever else it's worth, the widow did not press Sylvia for anything more specific. She just shook her head while Sylvia said it appeared to be mob related. You could see that she is still heavy in grief. She didn't say anything else and Sylvia promptly went on to the next person to tell them to get their thyroid checked.

I hope this case is solved sooner than later. His wife needs closure. And answers.
