Assessment: SUSPICIOUS
Dyer was one of only two witnesses who signed Frank Yassenoff's will — the other being Berry Kessler. After Yassenoff's unsolved murder in 1970, Dyer's death in a "questionable automobile accident" removed the only other witness to estate arrangements that Kessler had a financial interest in. Given Kessler's documented history of arranging murders of business associates, the circumstances warrant scrutiny.
Circumstances of Death
Marjorie Dyer died in what was described as a "questionable automobile accident" in the Columbus, Ohio area, likely in the 1970s. The exact date is not documented in available sources. Her death came after the unsolved murder of Frank Yassenoff in 1970.
Connection to the Epstein Network
Dyer's connection runs through Berry Kessler and the Columbus, Ohio financial network tied to Les Wexner:
- She co-signed Yassenoff's will with Kessler
- Kessler was suspected in Yassenoff's murder but never charged
- Kessler was the prime suspect in the 1985 murder of Arthur Shapiro — whose death enabled Epstein's rise
- Kessler was convicted of the 1991 murder-for-hire of John Deroo
Dyer's death removed a witness to the will of a man Kessler was suspected of murdering.
The Kessler Pattern
- 1970: Frank Yassenoff and Ella Rich shot to death — Kessler suspected
- ~1970s: Marjorie Dyer dies in car accident — co-signed Yassenoff's will with Kessler
- 1985: Arthur Shapiro gunned down — Kessler prime suspect; Epstein took Shapiro's position
- 1991: John Deroo shot six times — Kessler convicted
Key Quotes from Media Coverage
"Kessler and a woman named Marjorie Dyer were the only witnesses who had signed Yassenoff's will, and Kessler had come under suspicion when she died in a questionable automobile accident."
— Whitney Webb, Unlimited Hangout (August 2021)
"Did Berry Kessler, an accountant, really wield enough influence in Ohio to avoid being heavily scrutinized for not just one but three murders?"
— Whitney Webb, Unlimited Hangout (August 2021)
"You have attempted to portray yourself as a kindly.. senior citizen. The reality is that you, in a most cold and calculated fashion, plotted and carried out a contract-style murder of a man who thought you were his friend. You are, in fact, a clever, cunning and merciless killer."
— Judge William Webb, sentencing Berry Kessler for the murder-for-hire of John Deroo (February 1997)
