Description

As I have done the last two years, I am taking part in the 30 Days of Characters challenge this year.  This is the twenty-first entry for this year.

The Ballad of Cryptkeeper, Part 3

(Part 1 Part 2)

Jerry Winter was a consummate frontman. He knew how to play the crowd, he was attractive, he had a crooning voice that could turn into a haunting snarl at a moment's notice. And he had a seemingly never-ending line of groupies in his bed.

On the 15th of March, 1983, Jerry was found dead in his apartment. He had been shot twice at point-blank range in the back of his head.

The police were never able to find a viable suspect.

In the time since the murder, all manner of conspiracies have arisen.

Some say that it was a message from one of the crime families (probably the Giovanni family) to then Lieutenant Thomas Winter (Jerry's uncle) to back off.

Some say it was a super devoted fan who felt betrayed that the band was "selling out".

Some say it was a jealous girlfriend.

Following the funeral, the band debated going forward. They decided it was time to end it.

Over the years, a somewhat popular meme has developed: graffiti asking "Who Killed Jerry?"

Rumor has it that Jerry has at least three illegitimate children...

Pictured here is Jerry on stage at Jefferson University Cryptkeeper's final show. And yes, that is blood on his shirt.
