Confession of Ex-Deputy Reveals 1979 Murder of Florida Store Clerk

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • In November 1979, convenience store clerk Adele Marie Easterly was found shot, with only $7 missing from the register.
  • For years, investigators suspected John J. Greer, the deputy who reported the crime, due to his suspicious behavior.
  • In April 2023, Greer confessed to the murder while in an extended-care facility, stating he shot Ms. Easterly over 40 years ago.
  • Due to his poor health, authorities did not arrest Greer after the confession, assessing difficulties with extradition and weak evidence.
  • Greer passed away on March 2, 2024, with investigators closing the case after confirming his involvement.
