Jeffry’s house was in West Allis, Wisconsin the house was a two story house and had a basement. It had a large back yard that connected with the woods.

It all happened unexpected. Once Steve was unconscious Jeffry used the bar from the dumbbell and strangled Steve to death. Since it was Jeffry’s first murder and he was living home alone. It was really easy for Jeffry to hide all possible evidence. So, at that time no evidence was collected.
