19 years ago my mother left her marriage and got mixed up with a abusive man from a very small town. He owned and ran a very well known bar with
illegal gambling in the back rooms which many town officers would attend. The man was also very good friends with the Sherriff and grew up with him.
My mother was found dead with several bruises on her and some very unusual circumstances, that night her boyfriend had friends come visit him from
out of state and she was to meet up with them at the bar which she helped managed, when she arrived there - witnesses said he was irrate and cursing
at her for interupting a gambling game - She was found outside her mobil home curled up at 5am dead - he stated he took her home around 12 - the
autopsy states she passed around 1:30 or 2. Since her boyfriend abused her and poisened her with alcohol, she was depressed. I found out she had
tried to put him in jail for beating her and they would always let him go immediatly and not hold him. she was only 35. The case was never even
looked at. A cousin of my moms from another town worked in the police dept, and he tried to sniff around but was told to butt out or else. I
understand my mom may have had a high alcohol level and that caused her to pass out but all the pieces dont fit. I know he acted really fake at the
funeral and when he seen me he started to fake cry, it was all a act. He room mate who has a mental disablility said she was afaid to talk to anyone
and that she wasnt allowed to. My moms purse was outside with her and her licence had been removed. She had brusies from her neck down to the bottom
of each of her arms I had to make sure she wore a turtle neck to cover at her funeral, as well as many facial brusies they had a hard time covering up
to make her look presentable. To many questions... Alot of people knew my mom. I have many unanswered questions I will probably forever have so I
feel for this Olivia Jane Ward and her family, I know how the unclosure feels . It is hard to understand how some people in this world could be so
cruel to another human - and my mother was the sweetest dearest, nicest friend you could make. This young lady never had a chance to become a woman -
its so sad possibly at the hand of some very violent , cruel, jelious, evil selfish mixed up kids. I truely wonder where compassion is being taught
anymore. A cover up is very possible in my situation as well, nothing suprises me in this life anymore.
