Okay, switching gears here to talk about a totally separate case, put everything you've just

heard about Terry Becker in the back of your mind for now while we talk about Sherry Bridgewater.

It was 1991. On May 12th, Las Vegas police received a phone call from a Marcia B. Marcia was very

upset and said she was calling about her best friend Sherry Bridgewater.

She'd been trying to reach Sherry for days, and they had plans Sherry hadn't shown up for,

and she'd gone to Sherry's apartment and no one answered the door. Something was wrong.

Marcia was convinced. Patrol officers M. Surrick and T. Meyer responded to the scene at

1,000 Westman Row to meet with Marcia.

They listened to her as she gave them a little background, and then they followed her to apartment 314.

At this point, Officer Cornelius and Officer Mendoza, who'd been called for backup, arrived.

Officer Meyer knocked on the apartment door and yelled, police.

Then turned the doorknob and found the door

unlocked. The four officers walked into the apartment. The apartment was neat and tidy and quiet.

That was, until they walked into the back bedroom, a white woman was lying on her back on the bed,

unmoving, and lying in a provocative position. She was partially nude in a pink patterned bathrobe

and a white Garfield t-shirt that were both pushed way up above her breasts. She wore no other

clothing and her legs were spread. It was evident to the officers that she'd been dead for several

days. Officer Serg radio dispatch and reported of very suspicious death.

Dispatch contacted Sergeant Rousseau, Sergeant Schultz, and Detective Thornton of the LVMPD Homicide Unit.

Detective Thornton and Sergeant Schultz arrived at the apartment at 6.15 p.m.

They observed, just as the patrol officers had, that the woman on the bed was only partially dressed,

and the garments she was wearing were pushed up in an unnatural manner.
