DAKOTA CITY — A medical examiner testified Thursday that the estranged wife of a West Des Moines man and her friend died from close-range shotgun blasts on a rural highway near Marshalltown. Dr. Dennis Klein said the shots that killed Jessica Deemer and Bryce Mercer were fired from 2 to 4 feet away. Klein was the prosecution’s last witness in the trial of Deemer’s husband, Kyle Deemer. The couple had been separated for three months in October 2008 when prosecutors say Kyle Deemer followed the two in his truck for more than an hour before running their car off the road and into a ditch. Prosecutors have said witnesses then saw Deemer shoot them both with a 20-gauge shotgun. The prosecution also showed graphic photos of the bodies in court, causing family members at the trial to look away. Deemer stared ahead. Deemer has been charged with first-degree murder.
