Connie Goodwin never imagined she’d have to bury her son, Edward. After his murder, she knew she needed to bury him the way she’d brought him into this world: whole.
But it wasn’t so simple. Butler County Sheriff’s Office found just 40 per cent of 32-year-old Edward Goodwin’s remains in a pond in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, in 2017 — two years after he was killed and his body was wrapped with barbed wire and concrete blocks to ensure it would sink.
