On the evening of February 23, 1999, Ms. Star Boomer was patron of Uncle Mike's Bar at 49th and Metropolitan in Kansas City, Kansas. Witnesses say she was involved in a violent altercation with a man believed to be lifelong criminal with a history of violent behavior, particularly toward women. At one point during the evening, Ms. Boomer allegedly was knocked to the ground, causing her to lose consciousness, Ms. Boomer has not been seen or heard from since that date.

I mean it amazes me that they didnt just arrest the guy that knocked her to the ground and causes her to be unconscious, even if they couldnt charge him for anything else at that stage

Or is this what ALL the witnesses denied seeing ?
 
All the witnesses refused to testify about anything. Although I have not heard about any charges against the men accept murder, I figure they would refuse to testify about any charges. Very suspicious if you ask me...
 
I think that is why the charges were dropped, so when they could prove things later there would not be the problem of double jeopardy. Better to let them think they got away with it and hang them later than to try them without enough evidence and not be able to bring charges again later with more proof or eyewitness testimony.
 
Article about Star Boomer but we can't read the whole thing unless we sign up and PAY $20. for a one year membership. I wrote a letter to them two days ago requesting just the one article and as yet have not received a response.

Finding the lost has been something of an obsession for Cynthia Hurtie, Spring Hill. She’ll settle for finding just one missing person, but ideally, Hurtie, a recent graduate with a degree in forensic science, would like to find her sister, Star Boomer.

"If you have a person go missing in your life, it’s unrepairable," she said. "It does major damage to the family members."

The last people to see Boomer alive told police that Boomer got into an altercation on Feb. 23, 1999 at Uncle Mike’s Bar in Kansas City, Kan. She was allegedly knocked to the ground and where she lost consciousness.

SH WOMAN SEARCHES FOR MISSING SISTER


Finding the lost has been something of an obsession for Cynthia Hurtie, Spring Hill. She’ll settle for finding just one missing person, but ideally, Hurtie, a recent graduate with a degree in forensic science, would like to find her sister, Star Boomer.
"If you have a person go missing in your life, it’s unrepairable," she said. "It does major damage to the family members."
The last people to see Boomer alive told police that Boomer got into an altercation on Feb. 23, 1999 at Uncle Mike’s Bar in Kansas City, Kan. She was allegedly knocked to the ground and where she lost consciousness.
According to old news accounts, Boomer went to the local watering hole with friend and roommate, Carolyn Marshall. Marshall stayed for one drink and planned to return to pick up Boomer later in the evening. Marshall was told that Boomer had left with two men, when she returned to pick Boomer up. Investigators believe she was killed at the bar and her body was dumped.
It cut short future plans for mother of one. Boomer, along with her young son, were planning to move to Spring Hill to live with her parents when she disappeared.
Hurtie said someone knows what happened to her sister 10 years ago, and it’s time they came forward.
There were 13 witnesses in the bar, according to investigators, and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation is upping the ante in the case with a $5,000 reward for information.
"We need these witnesses to open up and say something," Hurtie said. "There were 13 witnesses in the bar, and nobody is saying anything."
One of those witnesses from the bar that night, Shon Pernice, was a regular on the news early this year, and Hurtie hopes that might trigger memories of others who may have seen something.
Pernice, who is being investigated for the January disappearance of his wife, Renee, was a patron at Uncle Mike’s Bar on the night of Boomer’s disappearance. He was not named as a person of interest or a suspect in the 10-year-old case.
In 1999, two men were arrested and charged with second degree murder, however, the men were released and charges were dismissed for lack of evidence.
Hurtie said police need to recover Boomer’s body for prosecution to move forward, but that’s a tall order after more than 10 years.
To that end, Hurtie is working with a private investigator who trains cadaver dogs. One dog, Jordan, was trained specifically to search for Boomer’s body. Hurtie, along with her private investigator, flew to Florida with Jordan to search for Caylee Anthony last summer.
Anthony, a 2-year-old, went missing last June. Her body was eventually recovered and her mother was charged with murder.
Hurtie said it’s now her life’s work to help find missing people. Hurtie was living in Lawrence and working in the nursing industry when Boomer was murdered, but she’s since moved to Spring Hill to be near her parents and pursue finding the lost.
"It’s really affected our family," she said. "And we need these witnesses to open up and say something."
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Kansas City, Kan. Police Department are still pursuing the case. Those with information about the disappearance of Star Boomer are asked to contact the KBI at (800)-KS-CRIME.

These two lived within a block of each other. Could have been some bad blood before the bar. I've lived in that area back in the 70's and it wasn't that good of an area back then.
 
Wow! I didn't realize they lived THAT close. Ty
 
Boomerchick,

Do you have the address to where the bartenders car was found burned out? I would like to add it to a map. Thanks.

Hugs,

Bones Found In Barrel.

http://www.kansascity.com/2010/05/07/1932315/bones-found-in-barrel.html#ixzz0nL9zVdhJ

The barrel and remains were found less than a mile from where persons of interest in Star Boomers case lived when she went missing.

It is rumored that the remains are at least ten years old but at this point I have no online citation to quote so please consider it a rumor.

Also, this is in a very depressed area and could be almost anybody.

Please pray for Star Boomers family, as well as the Pernice and Kopetsky families during this difficult time.

There are soooo many missing from that area...so many families waiting for news every time a body is located, it's so sad..

Heart wrenching.

Pray for them all.
 
Remains Found in Barrel are From Woman

They are still not sure it is Star Boomer but the remains are from a female.

Please pray for Cindy Hurtie and her family and friends.

If it IS Star it will be hard and if it is NOT Star it will still be hard.

I Hope Shon Pernice starts talking anyway he think he can now that he is facing forever in prison. I pray this leads to the Star Boomer being located.

Bump.

Hugs, prayers, keep the faith.
How hard it must be I can't even begin to imagine.

I love you Cindy. I am blessed to know you and your courage. Never give up.
I click every UID link I see to compare.

When I am ready to give up on my goals I always find myself here.
Never give up.

(((Cindy and family)))

Special shout out to Star's son - WOW! I saw your pic's on Cindy's FB, handsome young man there! Make your mom proud! Hugs
