Michael Kent Jamerson, 54, of Madison Heights, was found dead on May 8, 2007, in a wooded area just off State Route 130 in Amherst County, Virginia. A turkey hunter discovered the body; an investigation determined Jamerson had been shot multiple times in the head and body. A .357 Magnum revolver later recovered from the James River, about three miles from the scene, was identified as the murder weapon.

Authorities identified Robert Charles Gleason Jr. as the killer, concluding Gleason shot Jamerson to prevent him from testifying about a methamphetamine distribution ring the two were involved in. Gleason fled briefly on foot but was captured nearby by Amherst County deputies.

Gleason pleaded guilty in February 2008 to first-degree murder and received life without parole. The case raises questions about how Jamerson became involved in the drug investigation and what, if any, witnesses could still fill in the timeline around his death. Does anyone have information about Jamerson’s life, associates, or movements in the weeks before May 8, 2007?
