In the late summer of 2018, the life of 29-year-old Micheal Ray Brewer was tragically cut short. His body, along with that of his friend, Keith Wasmer, was discovered in a wooded area near Longview Lake in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 6, 2018. Both men had been shot, and the severity of Brewer's injuries led his family to decide on cremation. The discovery brought a painful end to the uncertainty that began when the two men were reported missing.
Micheal, a father who was reportedly
trying to improve his life, was described as a man who was skilled with his hands and had a deep love for his family. He and Keith Wasmer, who was engaged to Micheal's sister, were last heard from when they were supposedly on their way to help a man named Samuel DeLozier who they believed was stranded at Longview Lake. This planned meeting is the last known activity of the two men before their deaths.
The investigation into the double homicide has been a long and frustrating journey for the families of both victims. While police have pursued leads, no suspects have been officially named, and no arrests have been made in connection with the murders. The case officially remains unsolved. A reward has been offered for any information that leads to a conviction in the case, a beacon of hope for a family still seeking justice.
The name Samuel DeLozier has been associated with the case as he was the individual the victims were reportedly going to meet. Sometime after Brewer and Wasmer's disappearance, DeLozier was involved in a high-speed police chase in a stolen vehicle, which resulted in the death of another individual. Despite this, and the belief of Brewer's family that DeLozier was the last person to see the two men alive, it has been reported that he has not been questioned regarding their murders. The families of Micheal Brewer and Keith Wasmer continue to wait for answers and for justice to be served in the loss of their loved ones.
