On February 3, 2005 my sister cashed her tax refund and purchased drugs. That night she O.D.'d, her current boyfriend, locked her dying body in her bedroom, with her two young children, under 6, and removed the phone so they couldn't call 911. In the meantime, they took another young man, who had also overdosed, to our local fire department, where he died in his truck.
The local, joke of a P.D., never pursued charges on any of the 4 people who were involved.
I was 8 1/2 months pregnant when it happened and I held my breath for justice that never came. Needless to say, the ringleader, who was homeless after his R.V. burnt to the ground, and tried to commit suicide in the the woods, by slashing his forearms with a pair of scissors, yelling that, 'they'll leave me alone' Ha! He subsequently jumped state and didn't even return for his mother's funeral, even though he was promised safety.
2 of the remaining 3 have died for O.D.s and and the third has disappeared.
There has never been any real justice for my sister or the other boy who died because those punks were afraid to dial 911 even though there are laws in Indiana to prevent prosecution when someone calls 911 from a party. These laws are on our books to prevent this exact type of deaths.
Needless to say, that there is no welcome mat for these folks around here and we've been screwed from our day in court. Subsequently, the rest of our family has died, I'm the oldest living member of on side of our family.
There was a short article about the deaths in our weekly paper. The last sentance stated that My Sister was suspected in masterminding a rash of break ins in the area. Never one mention of any of the dumbshit that happened that night. However, there are alot of us that will never forget.
