Kerry Rollason, 56, was killed in his Toms River, New Jersey, home around July 3, 2024. An autopsy found he died of multiple gunshot wounds and blunt force trauma; his body was then dismembered in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime. Investigators recovered his remains in plastic bags in Jackson Township on July 12, 2024.

Authorities identified a group of people known to Rollason as central to the case. Elizabeth Mascarelli, 29, of Seaside Heights, was ultimately accused of conspiring with Maxwell Johnston and of fatally shooting Rollason; photos were found showing Mascarelli and Johnston posing with Rollason’s body after his death. Johnston died by suicide during a police standoff at Rollason’s home on July 5, 2024. Mascarelli later pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and received a 25-year sentence.

Several others were charged for roles in the desecration and concealment: Danielle Bolstad and Jared Krysiak admitted assisting in the dismemberment, and Jared Palumbo pleaded guilty to hindering apprehension. Does anyone have information about Rollason’s last days or knew him personally?
