All Michael wanted was a safe and loving home and family. By the age of ten, his father had died from a drug overdose, his older brother was someplace in the foster care system, and his mother was in prison. In and out of multiple foster homes, he was finally adopted by his “forever family.” Instead, three weeks before his eleventh birthday, his autistic friend pulled Michael’s limp body from the water. Did he drown by slipping on rocks and then fall, or was he murdered? Were the ravens right to warn him? Who was the dark shadow behind him? Why would anything this horrible befall such a young and innocent child? The author “assembles all the pieces of the puzzle,” to unravel this “inspired by true events” mystery through the lens of Detective Russ Wyatt.
How does one tell a good from a bad parent, especially when there are ulterior, secret, motives? After reading this tragic story based on true events, I hope an extensive investigation is now being conducted on future potential foster parents. Thank you Ken Wilson for a well written account of a true life story that will make you wonder.
Had the pleasure of meeting the author and private investigator on this local case. Such a sad true story and Ken did Micheal well in telling his unfortunate story. Rest easy Micheal. 💔
