Today we are unravelling the chilling story of Jerry Easley—a man whose life was marked by tragedy, suspicion, and a trail of unanswered questions. In 1969, Jerry’s first wife, Sherry, was found stabbed to death in her Houston home. The case raised eyebrows and was the subject of speculation and rumors, but no charges were ever filed. Just a few months later, Jerry married wife number two: Patricia Sharon Easley.

In 1985, Patricia vanished from Lake Pleasant, Arizona. Her dismembered remains were discovered along a desolate stretch of highway. For 26 years, she was a Jane Doe—until advances in forensic science finally identified her. Though never convicted, Jerry Easley was a suspect in both deaths.

Join us for The Easley Method: Two Wives, Two Murders. Today we’ll explore the disturbing timeline, the forensic mysteries, and the legacy of suspicion that surrounded Jerry Easley. Was he a killer hiding in plain sight or an unlikely victim of extreme coincidence? Let’s peel back the layers of a case that spans decades and still defies any simple answers.
