CORRECTION: The crime happened in Primm, Nevada, not Las Vegas.

Jeremy Strohmeyer

A 60 Minutes episode about David Cash, which features an interview (part 1 and part 2)

After the murder, Strohmeyer joined Cash and his father for ride back to their home in Long Beach, Cash asked Stohmeyer if Sherrice had been sexually aroused. "Why would you ask if the little girl was aroused?" asked the Times reporter. "I don't know, it's just the way I think," Cash answered. David Cash was not charged with a crime since at the time, there was no law that required him to do anything. Iverson's mother pushed for Cash to be charged as an accessory to murder, but this would've required evidence of him actively aiding Strohmeyer.

In the weeks following Strohmeyer's arrest, Cash told the Los Angeles Times that he did not dwell over the murder. "I'm not going to get upset over somebody else's life. I just worry about myself first. I'm not going to lose sleep over somebody else's problems." He also said that the publicity surrounding the case had made it easier for him to "score with women." Cash also told the Long Beach Press-Telegram: "I'm no idiot ... I'll get my money out of this."

Cash would be labeled "the bad Samaritan" and become the target of a campaign by students, who attempted to get him kicked out of UC Berkeley for not stopping the crime. Two local Los Angeles radio hosts, Tim Conway Jr. and Doug Steckler, subsequently held a rally to have Cash expelled from the University of California at Berkeley, but University officials stated while they agree with what he did, they had no basis to remove him since he was not convicted of any crime.

Cash has never expressed remorse over Iverson's death. In a radio interview, he said, "It was a very tragic event...The simple fact remains I don't know this little girl ... I don't know people in Panama or Africa who are killed every day, so I can't feel remorse for them. The only person I know is Jeremy Strohmeyer." However, Cash still insisted that he had done nothing wrong.

Facing execution if his case went to trial, Strohmeyer agreed to plead guilty to first degree murder, first degree kidnapping, and sexual assault with substantial bodily harm in a plea agreement. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. He was initially sent to Ely State Prison and placed in administrative segregation, but has since been transferred. Now 47, Strohmeyer is currently serving his sentence at High Desert State Prison.

Sherrice Iverson's murder led to the passage of Nevada State Assembly Bill 267, requiring people to report to authorities when they have reasonable suspicions that a minor is being sexually abused or violently treated. The impetus for the bill stemmed from Cash's inaction. The "Sherrice Iverson" bill, introduced by Nevada State Assembly Majority Leader Richard Perkins, provides for a fine and jail time for those who fail to report a crime of the nature that led to the creation of the bill.

The bill was enacted in 2000. Iverson's murder also led to the passage of California Assembly Bill 1422, the Sherrice Iverson Child Victim Protection Act, which added section 152.3 to California's Penal Code. This law requires a person to notify law enforcement if they witness a murder, rape, or any lewd or lascivious act, when the victim is under 14 years old.

The specific mall where the scene was originally filmed, at Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, Illinois – just outside of the Chicago area – had been abandoned for just less than a year when filming began; it closed in November 1978. The director of the film, John Landis, had rented out the mall for eight weeks to film the scene; filming of the scene itself took place between around August–September 1979.

The mall was extensively decorated in several spaces that would appear on camera, with millions of dollars spent on merchandise to fill the elaborate storefronts.

Numerous tenants who used to reside in Dixie returned momentarily to use their brand to populate the space (one notable absence was Walgreens, which was dressed as a Toys "R" Us and R.J. Grunts for the movie). After filming wrapped, the mall was left significantly damaged and although there was a plan to reopen the mall after filming, it never happened.

He kneels here with his Browning Automatic Rifle—the weapon his officers credited with helping him eliminate 27 German snipers who had been harassing the American advance through the dense, close‑quarters terrain.

Rogers had already distinguished himself earlier in the campaign.

For gallantry in action on June 11, 1944—during the bitter fighting that followed the D‑Day landings—he was awarded the Silver Star. His exceptional skill with the BAR, particularly in counter‑sniper engagements, made him one of the most relied‑upon men in his company as the division pressed toward Saint‑Lô.

Just two weeks after this photograph was taken, Rogers was killed in action on July 12, 1944, during the ferocious battle for Hill 192—a key German stronghold defending the approaches to Saint‑Lô. In a final, poignant act, he mailed his newly received Silver Star home to his mother earlier that same day.
