Jami Rachel Kasemeier, 39, was found dead in her downtown Waukon, Iowa, apartment on January 22, 2024. Family members had requested a welfare check after a January 21 call in which a dispute could be heard between Jami and her estranged husband, Brandon Kasemeier, and the line went dead. Brandon called back on Jami’s phone, reportedly sounding off and refusing to let the family speak with her. Officers were unable to locate Jami that day.

Investigators found an empty handgun case and several .22 caliber cartridge casings at the scene; it was later established at trial that Jami had been shot in the head twice. A manhunt for Brandon ended January 23 when he was arrested in Loveland, Colorado, about 900 miles from Waukon; a .22 caliber revolver was found in his vehicle. Court records show prior domestic abuse filings and harassment charges, including alleged repeated calls and threats in violation of a no-contact order.

An Allamakee County jury later convicted Brandon Kasemeier of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life without parole. Does anyone in the Waukon area have information about Jami’s last known movements or contacts on January 21–22, 2024?
