Robert Allen Bobby Chassereau, a 47-year-old man from Richmond, Virginia, was found beaten to death on June 20, 2006, in a homeless encampment near the Acca train-switching yard in Henrico County. Investigators initially considered robbery as a possible motive, but the case went cold after no significant leads emerged.

In 2016 a jailhouse confession changed the investigation. Michael Elijah Adams, also known as Dirty Mike and Crazy Mike, admitted to beating Chassereau to death with a two-by-four and provided detailed information about the victim’s clothing and injuries that investigators said only the killer would know. Adams told authorities he killed Chassereau because he disapproved of his lifestyle and claimed to have targeted transients he believed violated an informal code.

In May 2016 Adams pleaded guilty in Henrico County to the capital murder of Robert Chassereau and received life without parole. If anyone knew Bobby, where he spent his time, or has information about that night, please come forward.
