Our card this week is Sherry Black, the Nine of Hearts from Utah.

In November of 2010, the community of South Salt Lake was shocked by the vicious murder

of a beloved great grandmother.

Investigators chased leads and interviewed suspects utilizing every resource at their disposal

to learn who could have committed such a brutal crime and why.

Those answers and justice would remain elusive for nearly a decade until a dog and investigator

cracked the case.

I'm Ashley Flowers and this is The Deck.

It was just after 140 in the afternoon when Earl Black got home from work and he went to

let his wife know that he was back.

But he called out for his 64-year-old wife Sherry in their house and didn't get an answer

so he figured that she was working right next door in this little outbuilding that they

had that Sherry ran a bookstore from.

In this place is itty bitty.

You can see almost the whole thing from the front door of the shop so he was surprised

when he walked inside and didn't see Sherry sitting at the front counter or organizing

a collection of rare books on the shelves.

Now, he knew she was around because her car was outside so he made his way to the back

room.

He didn't know it in that moment but at 143 pm on November 30, 2010 his whole life was

about to change.

911, what is the address of the ambulance?
