SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Michelle Silva believes her kid brother would want her to stop trying to learn the details of his death in La Grange seven years ago.
“I am thinking he is up there (in heaven) saying, ‘I’m gone, don’t go through this effort,'” Silva said of her brother Robert Kope.
But Michelle can’t shake the alarm she felt when she learned her brother died in the same fashion as his girlfriend seven years before, with a zip tie around his neck.
