Ailing Ex-Deputy Admitted to Killing Florida Store Clerk in 1979
Briefly

In a surprising twist, a deputy sheriff’s longstanding connection to a cold case was corroborated when he confessed to the murder of a store clerk after decades of investigation.
Detective Mike Gandy noted that their suspicions about Greer's involvement had been persistent for years, and his eventual admission confirmed their long-held theories about the case.
Despite Mr. Greer’s confession, detectives decided against proceeding with an arrest, as they felt the case lacked sufficient physical evidence and would be challenging to prosecute.
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office has now closed the investigation into Adele Marie Easterly's murder following Greer’s admission, confirming longstanding suspicions regarding his role in the crime.
