Jerry Karr & Carla Jester Obituary, 2 Dead & 1 Hospitalized From Overdose At Wasilla Residence

Alaska State Troopers report that they received a call at just after midnight on Friday stating there were “multiple deceased individuals” at a Wasilla residence and AST immediately responded to the scene.

When they arrived at the location, they found two individuals had died of fatal doses and a third, a female was rushed to a local hospital. The fatalities were identified as 56-year-old Jerry Karr and 41-year-old Carla Jester, both of Wasilla.

An investigation was opened and is ongoing. Troopers have not yet revealed if they have persons of interest in the case.
