In the last episode of the Sandra Hemmy story, we told you about Sandy, a woman who has spent

the better part of her young life under psychiatric care, and the rest of her life incarcerated.

Well, so a majority of the cases I've written about are men who are prisoners who claim

In this episode, we're turning our attention to another suspect in this case.

In December of 1980, a man came into a photography store in Kansas City, Kansas,

to purchase camera equipment.

He tried to make a purchase back in November with a credit card that didn't work.

It turns out that credit card the young man had tried to use was stolen, and on the back read

Patricia Jetschki. The man tried to use was stolen, and on the back read Patricia Jetschki.

The man tried to use the card on the same day that Patricia was found murdered.

This information presents a new suspect in the case. It also presents a possible motive.

The man using Patricia's stolen credit card was named Michael Holman, and he was a St. Joseph police officer.

The alternative suspect that Sandy's lawyers point to is Michael Holman.

He was at the time a 22-year-old patrolman at the St. Joseph Police Department.

He was rumored within his own police force to be a burglar.
