George Jares (6 of Clubs, Wisconsin)

Our card this week is George Jares, the 6 of Clubs from Wisconsin.

From the outside, 43-year-old George was a family man: a former greeting card salesman turned restaurant owner who loved his kids, the outdoors, and working hard. But after George was shot three times and left for dead in his restaurant’s parking lot, details of his life began to emerge that painted a rather different picture... And the surprising twists that detectives uncovered led them to suspect that George had been targeted by a hitman. For nearly forty years they’ve been looking for the shooter and, more importantly, the person who hired them.

  • If you have any information about the murder of George Jares in Eagle River, Wisconsin, on August 3rd, 1986, please come forward.
