On March 7, 1982, Sgt. Carol E. Roketa, 38, was shot three times in a Detroit duplex and pronounced dead at a local hospital. Investigators reported she was killed with her own service revolver; neighbors described days of arguing, witnesses heard quarrelling and then gunshots, and Douglas Glazier was seen near Roketa’s body holding a revolver in the immediate aftermath.

Glazier, a former newspaper reporter who had known Roketa through work and then a personal relationship, was charged with second-degree murder and later convicted at a bench trial in Detroit Recorder’s Court of voluntary manslaughter. Years later Glazier sued a psychologist, alleging the therapist had been told of violent thoughts and failed to act, but the Michigan Court of Appeals rejected any malpractice claim that would depend on Glazier’s own criminal act.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or the duplex where Roketa and Glazier lived that could add detail to the timeline of that day?
