MOM DRAINS POND HERSELF WITH SUMP PUMP TO FIND MURDERED SON WHEN SHERIFFS REFUSE

Edward Goodwin went missing in June 2015. For more than two years, his family didn't know what happened to their son. Eventually, witnesses say Goodwin had been beaten to death, his body dumped into a pond.  The sheriff’s department partially drained the pond and found human hip bones, a femur bone, and some ribs. Edward Goodwin's body had been found, but the rest of his body was never recovered. This is despite assurances from law enforcement that the recovery would happen. After waiting for authorities to act, Connie Goodwin, Edward's mom, took it upon herself to get her son back. The Goodwins rented a sump pump to drain the pond themselves. As they started pumping the water out, bones could be seen sticking up through the water. The coroner was called and Edward Goodwin came home.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: Ed Goodwin - Victim's Father Connie Goodwin - Victim's Mother Jim Elliott - Of Counsel, Butler Snow LLP, www.butlersnow.com; Instagram: JimElliott1957 Sheryl McCollum - Forensic Expert; Founder: Cold Case Investigative Research Institute in Atlanta, GA,; ColdCaseCrimes.org; @ColdCaseTips  Jim Akers - Coroner, Butler County, (Poplar Bluff, MO); Medicolegal Death Investigator; Instructor: Missouri Coroners and Medical Examiner's Association, Academy Instructor, Missouri Sheriff's Association Training Academy, Former Deputy Sheriff/Detective, Butler County Police Department Ryan Krull - Journalist, The Riverfront Times; Twitter: @RyanWKrull, RiverfrontTimes.com Josephine Wentzel - Krystal Mitchell's Mother & Founder of "Angels of Justice;" Author: "THE CHASE: In Hot Pursuit of My Daughter’s Killer;" AngelsofJustice.org,  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
