I would like to express my condolences to the Liberty family. I worked with Jerry at Area One Homicide. He was not only a very good detective but an even better person. I was assigned to Area One after being promoted to Detective and Jerry was one of the first Detectives I worked with. He explained everything to me in great detail. I will never forget that. He was also a great story teller. I would laugh for hours. I will keep Jerry in my prayers. May his soul rest in peace.
