Council bluffs police officer john l. Stephens, 32, and paul j. Rayer, 51, were shot and killed on tuesday, december 5, 1967, during a robbery of “club 64,” an upscale steakhouse about a half-mile east of council bluffs’ city limits where stephens moonlighted as a plain-clothes security guard. Robbery appeared to be the motive. Officer stephens was to accompany rayer, the restaurant’s manager, to the council bluffs savings bank at about 2 a.M. After the business closed and daily receipts counted. Both men’s bodies were found dead in the restaurant’s office about five hours later when a club employee arrived for regular clean up work. Wichael also said there may have been more bullets fired.“we think they were fired from two different guns — one probably a .25-caliber and the other a .38 — indicating we think that there were two men doing the shooting,” wichael is quoted as saying in the article.Agency
