The News About Jana Shearer Murder


Jana Shearer was almost six feet tall, blond with green eyes and had a bounce in her walk that would turn men’s heads. Her friend and neighbor Jennifer Landfair describes her looking like a skinny Barbie, except with a goofy little grin. Jana was said to never leave her house without her makeup bag, so Landfair knew something was wrong when Jana wasn’t home, but her makeup bag was.

Landfair’s suspicions proved correct when police found Jana’s body inside a brick home on Princess Place. Parts of her flesh were carved out and an ear was found on the stove boiling in a pot of water.
Friends say they were supposed to have a “girls’ night,” but Jana’s boyfriend Christopher Lee McCuin was at the apartment waiting for her to get home from shopping. One of the friends, Amy Gage said McCuin talked to them while waiting for Jana and he seemed very nice.

When Jana did get home, friends watched as the couple went into Jana’s apartment arguing.

The next morning Jennifer Landfair was at Jana’s apartment when the phone rang. It was McCuin, who kept saying to Jana’s mother that he killed her daughter.
Jana’s mother handed the phone to Landfair who said McCuin had no remorse in his voice as he told her that Jana was dead and that he had killed her.

The details of this story gets more and grisly with the fact that McCuin may have stabbed his estranged wife’s boyfriend after killing Jana and that he may have eaten or tried to eat parts of Jana’s body. McCuin even proudly showed his mother and her boy friend what he had done to Jana saying, “Come look what I did”. The couple ran from the home and flagged down a police officer.

This is a brutal and tragic story. It makes you wonder what happens to a person to make them do something like this. It also makes you wonder who around you is capable of doing something like this to you or someone you know. I mean Amy Gage said that Friday McCuin was hugging and playing with kids.

I want to express my sorrow for Jana Shearer’s death to her friends and family and wish them the best.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
