When a young Army sergeant is murdered, the police can’t find any answers until they learn that the killer could be as close as the dead man’s backyard. By the end of it all, Jeremy Cuellar admitted to working with Kemia Hassel to kill her husband Sgt. Tyrone Hassel III on New Year’s Eve 2018. Cuellar and Kemia were lovers and all three were soldiers stationed at Fort Stewart in Georgia. The killers had planned to collect Army death benefits and life insurance money.
They had started their affair when they were stationed at Camp Casey Korea as part of the 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Combat Brigade. They communicated on Snapchat as they thought that their messages couldn’t be found or traced. The case was broken when an anonymous tip was given to Officer Eric Wolff that revealed “investigators need to look at the victim’s wife … and a boyfriend who serves in her platoon.”
Cuellar told another soldier that he and Kemia wanted to be together and were planning to murder Tyrone while the married couple was on leave. That soldier went to Criminal Investigation Division and told them that he believed Cuellar was the murderer. He killed Tyrone in the driveway of his father’s house while his year-old-son slept inside. He thought he was bringing home a plate of food for his wife and was walking into a trap that she set up.
