Our card this week is Jerene Matta, the Queen of Spades from Washington. 

During the Yakima Police Department’s annual Christmas party, the news of 62-year-old Jerene’s murder shocked every officer and their plus ones. Jerene’s house was known for its security cameras – there were so many that you basically couldn’t enter the property without being filmed. 

Why was Jerene targeted? And who was she watching on her cameras?

Or maybe the better question is, was someone watching Jerene?
