My sister is dead - UPDATE regarding THIS thread page 15..

[jkovick]

C. Ann I have not been on the boards in a few days, so I am just reading this for the first time this morning. I am presently at work (which is in Battle Creek, MI) If you need anything let me know. Phone #'s, info, etc. I will do what ever I can to help. Feel free to PM me.

Somehow I missed this thread completley. My heart goes out to you. You're in my prayers.

 

[scarlett873]

as many others have, i've not been online the last few days and have just stumbled onto this thread...

i am soooooo osrry for your loss...

i hope that you find the answers that you are looking for soon...

 

[CookieGVB]

How awful! I hope that you find the answers you are searching for soon. {{Hugs}} to you.

First, I wish you peace and swift answers.

Second, this sounds so simple, but may be something you wouldn't think of at a time like this. I'd get myself a 5 subject notebook or 3x5 index file and start taking notes. Every little conversation w/ date and time, names and agencies. You'll be amazed at how much info you gather and the number of names floating in your head will become a fog. Stay as organized and focused as possible. To clarify, the 5 subjects would be for ie. hospital, police, bil mad: ), railroad, cemetary. Keeps everything easily accessible.

I also agree with another poster....have a friend who can afford the time to stick with you through this entire ordeal. Better two heads than one.

Our local police have been very helpful in the few instances we needed them. They are there to serve and protect. Call your local agency first.

Good luck and again, may peace quickly blanket your home.

I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can get to the bottom of this and I'm sending my prayers that you can find your answers.

I'm so sorry this happened. Please take care of yourself. I hope you can find the answers you deserve real soon.

NO POLICE REPORT OF THIS "ACCIDENT" !!!!!

Nothing - nada.. Just to be safe, I was referred to another PD that is right on the fringes of the area where this was supposed to have happened and they have no record of it either..

They've referred me to the Medical Examiners office - who I am trying to reach right now..

 

[KathyTX]

This crazy and manipulative bozo may have told you NOTHING but lies...

 

[KimRaye]

Prayers for some quick success, C.Ann.

is it possible that the State Police would have handled the case..

 

[MerryPoppins]

The plot thickens. What a mean-spirited SOB he is! I keep puzzling over what his motivation would be for telling you about this after two years? I hope you get some answers soon.

My thoughts are with you and your family C.Ann. Do as rrsafety suggested on p.12, don't try to be your own PI but rather let police and other agencies do your investigative work. Write down and print out all communication with XBIL
I'm saddened to learn that your mystery seems to be getting more complex rather than closer to a solution. Perhaps your XBIL is doing nothing more than feeding your lie after lie, leading you farther away from the truth. In any case, allow the police to interrogate him. Perhaps they have a Jane Doe file where she now may be identifyable.

Good Luck and {{hugs}} to you and your loved ones during your strife for justice.

[Lanshark]

I've just logged on today so I may have missed something. Did he give you any proof that your sister died?

 

[jkovick]

C. Ann-- I sent you a couple of PM's

 

[C.Ann]

Back again - and maybe a little closer to getting answers..

When the second PD had no record of this, I decided to call Battle Creek again - in hopes that the first gal misunderstood the long and complicated last name..

Got lucky - someone else answered the phone - and she did in fact discover a "complaint" regarding my sister on that date. Of course she couldn't/wouldn't tell me what it said over the phone because you have to pay for those reports, so I quick wrote a check and dashed out to the PO with it..

Got a hold of someone at the Calhoun County offices and they found the death certificate.. Again - no info over the phone - but at least this time I was able to use my debit card and she said she would mail it out tomorrow..

Naturally the holiday this week is going to throw a monkey wrench into the timeline of when I'll get this info, but at least I know I have something on its way..

Now - does anyone here work for the VA? I'm wondering if now that my sister is deceased they would release her medical records - or if it will still be considered confidential - especially since she was supposed to be mentally unstable..

Also - are autopsy reports available to next of kin? I'm not sure it's something I want to read (considering how she was supposed to have died) but it might be an indicator of whether she was on psychiatric meds at the time of her death..

Anyone know if divorce records are "public" records in Michigan?

Someone here gave me the phone# for the newspaper out there so I'm going to call and see if they have the newspaper article and will send me a copy..

I'm soooooo glad it's a weekday! Seem to be making some serious headway now......

Thanks again to everyone..
C.Ann

Divorce records are open to any individual in Michigan. See link

However, I think you have to know what county the divorce took place in. Good luck and God Bless!

 

[KathyTX]

Sounds like you are making headway, C. Ann.

If there's a bright side to this (and I'm really hoping there is), it may be that you are shaping up as a pretty enterprising Private Investigator.
