Our cards this week are Michael Adams, Lachelle Powell, Michael Royal, and Jennifer Leasure, the 9, 10, Jack, and Queen of Hearts from New York.

In the dead of winter, a fire consumed a home in Rochester, New York — but what firefighters discovered inside wasn’t an accident. Four bodies, bound, shot, and left in a scene so brutal it stunned even experienced detectives. Nearly a decade later, with no arrests and few answers, the question still haunts everyone left behind: Who could commit such a massacre – and why?

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever killed Michael Adams, Lachelle “Peanut” Powell, Michael Royal, and Jennifer Leasure.

If you have any information, please contact Rochester PD’s major crimes unit at 585-428-7157 Rochester PD Contact or email them at MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300 or submit a tip online.

Our card this week is Sharon Glover, the 6 of Spades from Louisiana.

Early on November 14, 1993, just two weeks before Thanksgiving, Sharon Glover was found viciously stabbed to death on a rural backroad in northwest Louisiana. Rumors led Sharon’s family to believe the killer was someone close to them. But detectives are now releasing new information in this case for the first time, and they believe there’s been a different prime suspect lurking in the background of this investigation for decades.

• If you have any information on the murder of Sharon Glover, Det. Jackson urges you to reach out to him directly at (318) 681-0705. You can also submit a tip anonymously through Crimestoppers.

Our card this week is George Jares, the 6 of Clubs from Wisconsin.

From the outside, 43-year-old George was a family man: a former greeting card salesman turned restaurant owner who loved his kids, the outdoors, and working hard. But after George was shot three times and left for dead in his restaurant’s parking lot, details of his life began to emerge that painted a rather different picture... And the surprising twists that detectives uncovered led them to suspect that George had been targeted by a hitman. For nearly forty years they’ve been looking for the shooter and, more importantly, the person who hired them.

• If you have any information about the murder of George Jares in Eagle River, Wisconsin, on August 3rd, 1986, please come forward. You can call the Vilas County Sheriff’s Office at (715) 479-4441 and ask for any officer or detective on duty. Or, if you’d prefer to remain anonymous, you can call the Vilas County Sheriff’s anonymous tip line at 1-800-472-7290.
