Our card this week is Luther Michelle, the Nine of Hearts from Louisiana.

On a mild spring night in 1991, Luther's teenage son found him lying dead on his bedroom floor

next to his overturned wheelchair and a knife.

With a locked door and no signs of forced entry, police believe his

killer could have been someone he knew and trusted. But when they zoom out, investigators notice

a series of other crimes with eerie similarities, and they begin to consider whether a serial

killer could be to blame. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck. On Wednesday, March 27, 1991, 22-year-old Tammy Michelle was on her way to work the evening shift at a local bar.

Before, she had to drop off her brother Alan at his dad's house in Shreveport, Louisiana.

When Tammy pulled up to their father's house, she noticed that her dad's car was gone,

and the living room light was on, a red bulb that cast an ominous glow into the night.

Tammy watched, as she always did, as Alan got out of the car, walked to the house and unlocked the front door.

And so my brother goes up to the house and I'm digging in my purse for work to use.

And next thing I know, my brother's right back at the passenger window.

And he says, Tammy, something's wrong with daddy's laying on the ground.

And I thought on the ground.

He's outside.

And he goes, no, he's in his bedroom.

Tammy was immediately concerned.

The last time they saw their dad was a few days before, so there was no telling how long he'd been lying there.

Their dad, Luther Michelle, had limited mobility.

He'd been seriously injured during his work as an arborist many years ago when a tree fell on him.

And ever since then, he needed to use a wheelchair or crutches.
