Jamelske Case Update

By E.Christensen

Syracuse, NY – Last week, when the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office released photos of John Jamelske, they hoped it might trigger more victims to come forward.

As yet, none have.

Jamelske, 67, is accused of kidnapping, imprisoning, and raping at least 5 women.

The Dewitt man would often target homeless women or runaways, abduct them, and keep them imprisoned as his sex slaves in a room he'd built in his basment.
