A Mysterious Asset Found In Couples’ Home Has Quite The History
When investigators discovered a peculiar asset in the home of a New Mexico couple, nobody could believe the odd details that emerged. It seemed impossible that they could be caught up in something so shocking. Yet every piece of evidence suggested this well-loved pair had really pulled off one of the biggest crimes of the 1980s...
Modest Life
Rita and Jerry Alter always seemed like regular middle-class Americans. They lived off a modest teacher's salary and had lived in Cliff, New Mexico, since the late 1970s. But that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Renaissance Man
Outside of his day job, Jerry loved adventure, art, and traveling. In fact, he had written and self-published several books about his experiences in over 140 different countries.
Supportive Partners
His beloved wife Rita was a beacon of kindness, patience, and positivity. She was working as a speech pathologist in the public school system, and she was always there to support Jerry in everything he undertook.
Hard To Know
Despite their friendly demeanor, the Alters kept to themselves. Their neighbors reported that they were a lovely couple but hard to really know, which explains how they were able to keep a secret for decades.
