Collier Landry

I remember my mother was really downtrodden. This is right around Thanksgiving of that of 1989. And she said to me, she picked me up from school. We were going to go eat at this place called Bob Evans. For those of you who don't know, it's like a Midwestern staple. And she said to me in the car, she goes, Collier, I want you to know something.

Your, your father has mafia connections and I would never leave you. And if something happens to me, your father had me killed.

I had this fighting game that he had gotten me and he saw it and he goes, this is a violent game. I would never have got this for you if this was violent. I'm thinking to myself, you would call me a little bitch and a little pussy for covering my eyes when there's a violent scene in a movie or a sex scene. You would pull my eyes down and make me watch it.

And now you're upset because I'm playing a video game?

Ironically, Jack had been planning something far more violent, and that plan would come to fruition in just a few short days. On New Year's Eve of 1989, people all around America looked at their clocks and began the countdown into the new year. Usually, when the clock strikes midnight, everyone cheers. They sip their champagne, kiss their loved ones, and they celebrate.

But that wasn't the case in the Boyle household. That night, Collier kissed his mom goodnight and went to bed. but he had no idea that that would be the very last time he would ever see his mom alive. A few hours later, Collier suddenly woke up at around 3 a.m. to the sound of two loud thuds. Next, he heard his little sister scream.

Collier didn't know what to think of the sounds, but they frightened him. And for just a moment, Think about what it was like when you were nine, 10, 11 years old, waking up in the dead of night. The shadows made by trees on your window pane are a monster reaching out for you. The click and grind of a radiator was a creature rising from the depths to swallow you whole.

In those moments, most kids only want one thing, the only thing that can soothe their fears, their parents. But for Collier, one of his parents was the monster lurking in the darkness, and he knew it almost as soon as he opened his eyes. After hearing those thuds, followed by a scream, Collier's first fear was that something had happened to his mother.
