Steve Bissette: Still No Trial For Accused Steve Perry Slayer

Veteran comics creator and now comics educator Steve Bissette noted this morning on Twitter that two years from the anniversary of the discovery of the crime there's been no trial for the man once arrested for the crime of killing writer Steve Perry. Perry had been down on his luck in a way that had attracted some charitable interest from the comics community. That economic vulnerability also may have exposed the comics and animation scriptwriter to those that murdered him and disposed of his body in a way that his remains hadn't been fully recovered several weeks after the discovery of his slaying. The horrific nature of Perry's end and the clear, potential link between that distressed economic state and his final fate made Perry a huge item of discussion for months and months in the creative community -- at least where I encountered it.

According to statements in the press, it's believed that Perry died on May 10, 2010. He was 55 years old.
