Star Meers was arrested and subsequently sentenced to twenty-two years in prison for the second-degree homicide of her husband, Richard Bourke, whom she shot in their Wisconsin home. Following the murder, Meers attempted to conceal the crime by cleaning the scene, swapping bedding, and enlisting her son and others to burn the remains in a backyard burn barrel. Although she initially played the role of a grieving widow reporting a missing person to the police, investigators quickly grew suspicious due to her erratic behavior and conflicting statements. Her son eventually confessed to authorities, revealing that his mother had admitted to the shooting and sought help disposing of the body. Despite offering bizarre excuses, including a claim that she and her husband planned to resurrect each other, Meers ultimately took a plea deal resulting in her imprisonment.
