Dig A Hole: Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Jed, whose nephew Jethro’s girlfriend shot herself dead…
January 31st, 2008 by Scott Marks
Chere Rhodes, 30, the live(d)-in girlfriend of former Beverly hillbilly Max Baer, Jr., 70, reportedly shot herself last Thursday and died several days later.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelll doggies!
The suicide took place in Baer’s Lake Tahoe home. According to the Nevada Appeal, “At about 1:15 p.m. Thursday, Douglas County sheriff’s deputies and Tahoe-Douglas paramedics responded to a report of an attempted suicide at Baer’s Zephyr Heights residence, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.”
Baer led the police to the master bedroom where they found Ms. Rhodes with a single gunshot to the chest from a semi-automatic handgun. A handwritten note, citing relationship problems, was found at the scene. (Her kinfolk said, “Chere, move away from there!”)
A CALSTAR helicopter flew transported Ms. Rhodes to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, where she underwent trauma care and subsequently was put on life support. Her family removed her from life support Sunday.
Originally, investigators suspected the work of Jane Hathaway who for years was quite vocal about her unrequited love for the strapping hick. Miss Jane was released after questioning. A Douglas County news release stated, “No foul play is suspected at this time.”
Baer, son of boxing legend Max Baer, has been a Lake Tahoe for years. He’s currently trying to build a hotel-casino in northern Douglas County that would be patterned after the 60s sitcom. You must study this website carefully!
Listening to Baer’s appearances on The Howard Stern Show one was given the impression of pure sleaze: a low rent Bob Guccione. Give it a little time. I can almost guarantee that you’ll be hearing stories that would make Granny lose her vittles.

It’s all so sad. I meant the Beverly Hillbillies Casino. The suicide is sad too. God, that woman was amazing looking. Why was she shacking up with sleazy Jethro? Clearly, the woman had issues no amount of boob surgery could fix.
Initially, they reported that she was gut-shot and now they’re saying it was a bullet to the chest. How did it penetrate all the saline?
