South Salt Lake police are following a couple of leads in Tuesday's fatal stabbing of Sherry Black, a used book dealer and mother-in-law of Utah Jazz owner Greg Miller. They have not disclosed whether they were narrowing in on a suspect or a motive.
Police have released few details about the slaying. Authorities are carefully reviewing the crime scene, and the investigation is in the beginning stages, said South Salt Lake Sgt. Gary Keller. As of Tuesday night, police hadn't determined a motive for the slaying.
"At this time, we don't have a suspect," Keller said.
It was not immediately known whether the business was open or if anyone else was present. Keller said Wednesday morning that police would continue to restrict traffic along 700 East as the crime scene investigation continued. He said earlier that forensic evidence is going to be crucial and authorities are going to pore over all evidence.
Police are also asking for the public's help. "If they may have seen a car speeding away, somebody running from this location, anything that may have been or seemed suspicious or minute, please give us a call," Keller said. You can reach the South Salt Lake Police Department at 801-840-4000.
Specifically, they are looking for anything that happened between 8 a.m. Tuesday, when the store opened, and 1:45 p.m., when Black's body was discovered.
Sherry Black remembered as likable, quiet, and involved with family
Black's brother, Jim Waycasy, said he is unaware of anyone who would want to kill his sister. He described her as likable and a grandmother who was very involved with her family. He said her business mostly involved book sales online. He said he never heard her talk about troublesome business or personal relationships.
Earl Black reported finding his wife dead Tuesday at 1:43 p.m. in their home at 3466 S. 700 East. "The husband discovered her. It's a residence with a business next door, and he walked into the business and discovered her body," said Keller.
