EXTENDED CLIP:
She wore a wire to protect her mother… and to uncover the truth. What followed is one of the only times we hear Jere Bagenstose’s voice.

In September 2022, during the investigation into Jere Bagenstose, his stepdaughter, Misty Shafer, agreed to wear a wire.

Standing outside of the same Willow Street home — where Maryann Bagenstose disappeared and where all three of them were living at that time— Misty used concern for her mom’s wellbeing to try to get Jere to admit to his crimes.

It’s one of the rare moments we hear vulnerability in Jere’s voice, who is known for never showing emotion to investigators and living a deeply private life.

This clip from this exchange is featured in the latest episode of Hometown Tragedy, "She Never Came Home: The Maryann Bagenstose Disappearance," now streaming on the Very Local app: https://www.verylocal.com/apps/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=fb&utm_campaign=dailyposts
