Jerry was a friend of Lasser's.
History[]
Jerry was curious how Lasser, one of Eagle Network's reporters, got wind of the disappearance of Gilbert Halstrom. Lasser refused to give up his source, and blew Jerry off.
Background information[]
Jerry appears to have been modeled after Darren McGavin's Carl Kolchak, the main character in the short-lived but memorable television series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Similar to the DCAU version of The Question, Kolchak investigated the bizarre and unbelievable, frequently finding his claims unsupported by his peers.
