Emmett Nave Case
On the morning of November 19, 1983, Nave threatened to kill his wife if she didn’t drive him to the hospital and help him get some drugs. Prior to going to the hospital, Nave told his wife that he wanted to see his landlady Geneva Roling. When Mrs. Roling answered the door, Nave shot her with a .22 caliber rifle. Nave and his wife left the Roling residence to go to the hospital for drugs.
At 8:02 a.m., officers of the Jefferson City Police Department responded to the Roling residence at 303 Marshall for a shooting. At the scene, the officers found Mrs. Geneva Roling laying dead on the floor with numerous gunshot wounds.
Shortly after their arrival, police learned that an individual, later identified as Emmett Nave, had attempted to obtain the drug Demoral from an emergency room employee at the Still Hospital. After he was refused the drug Nave flourished a .22 caliber automatic rifle at the employee and demanded he be given Valium and Demoral. The employee administered 100 ml. of Demoral and Nave left the hospital taking five female hostages with him.
Nave took the hostages to a residence where he forced them to have sex with him. During this time, three of the hostages were able to escape. Nave then took a hostage to a shed near Brazito, Missouri where he forced her to inject him with Demoral and Valium whereupon he lost consciousness and was eventually apprehended.
