$50,000 Reward Offered in Attorney Death

A $50,000 reward has been offered by an anonymous donor for information concerning the apparent murder late last year of a suburban St. Louis personal injury attorney in his law office.

Ernest Brasier, 57, was found dead of a single gunshot wound in his third-floor law office in the suburb of Clayton, Mo., reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He was a partner at Boggs, Boggs & Bates.

Police say they do not believe the killing was random, and are seeking leads. The reward offer expires on Dec. 19, 2007, the anniversary of Brasier's death.
