Vanished: The Jami Sue Hagel Sherer Case (Part 2)

What happens when a controlling husband not only silences his wife — but continues to terrorize her loved ones, even from behind bars?

By the end of September 1990, 26-year-old Microsoft employee and young mother Jami Sue Hagel Sherer had vanished from Redmond, Washington. Her family, friends, and coworkers searched desperately for answers, and Microsoft even posted a reward to help locate her.

But while the community scoured the area for Jami, her husband, Steve Sherer, showed little interest in helping. Just days after her disappearance, he became preoccupied with having his car detailed, staged a suicide attempt, and eventually threatened investigators and prosecutors as the case against him began to build.

In Part Two, we follow the years-long investigation that finally brought Steve Sherer to justice. From the incriminating evidence found in his possession to the testimony that unraveled his story, prosecutors built a case strong enough to convict Steve of Jami’s murder — even without her body.

But the story didn’t end with his 60-year sentence. Even behind bars, Steve wasn’t finished. What he plotted from prison would leave investigators stunned — and Jami’s family in even greater danger.

Listen now to Part Two of this haunting case as we uncover the investigation, trial, and the shocking twist that proved Steve Sherer’s reign of terror didn’t end with his conviction.
