You graduate college, get married and start a family and you have a job and a clear career path. Now, imagine that someone violently cuts your life short just because they felt like it. And for little more than $200 in cash.

I wish I could tell you this story is rooted in imagination, but sadly it isn’t. The reality for Jerry Colyer was terrifying on a seemingly normal Thursday night back in 2016 as he worked the nightshift front desk at the Econo Lodge Motel in Chesterfield County, Virginia. As of 2026, his murder still remains unsolved.

On April 9th, a chance encounter after a night out at a local pub resulted in Jordie’s murder. The aftermath of her death is even more horrific, involving the US Marshals, the recovery of her body from a shallow grave and two reported lovers who would ultimately turn on each other in connection to the murder.
