''BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — It’s been 18 years since Yolanda Bindics first went missing in Jamestown. Her remains were found two years later in a wooded area in the Town of Charlotte.
No one has ever been charged with her murder.
Since that time, her sister Margaret Queen and the entire family have never rested.
Queen wrote about her experiences over 18 years in a new memoir called
The Silent Conviction.
“18 years later, and many attempts to address the conflict of interest, my concern finally fell on listening ears,” Queen wrote. “Another prayer was answered. The Sheriff who all along had jurisdiction over Yolanda’s homicide case formed a cold case unit.”
''When explaining why she titled the non-fiction story
The Silent Conviction, she said, “So many people have silently convicted her killer without there being an arrest or being heard by the court.”
When asked how she ended the book with no conviction yet, Queen had this to say: “Much less throughout the years, I have gathered and learned that the persons of interest—one there were a lot of things didn’t make sense for one of them, whereas the other one- he couldn’t even stand the mention of her name, and that’s how I ended it.”

''Margaret is very familiar with tragedy and triumph. She walked a heartbroken road when the bond was shattered with her sister, Yolanda. Her story is based on a true story. It is inspired by her sister, who was missing for two years. At first, she didn't know what led to the circumstances of her sister's disappearance. It was exactly twenty-five months following the 'Missing Person' report that Yolanda's remains were found. She was murdered.
Regretfully, no arrest has been made. Therefore, there is no justice. This means a killer is still on the streets. Is there a lack of justice because of corruption and conflict of interest in the investigation due to a police officer being named a person of interest? Was someone forced to keep silent because of power, control, or manipulation? Margaret continues to seek justice for her sister. The only thing Margaret knows for sure is that Yolanda's death changed her life. Through this devastating tragedy, Margaret lost her hope.
But eventually her hope was restored by the grace of God.''
