I don't see anything in today's news. Not even much in the way of rumors here a few miles away.

No updates here? I wonder when we will hear autopsy results. I’m sure LE are working behind the scene ... but how tragic for Barbara and her loved ones. Moo

I didn’t see this posted yet, But they had a prayer service for Barbara Novaes a few days ago. Many from the community paid their respects.

Does anyone know whether or not her STBX is the father of her son and daughter?

I wondered the same thing...

I wondered the same thing...

I believe so as they have a similar name and is not her maiden name.

would think even if it is determined to be a tragic accident that info would be released.

I am not sure what to think anymore, do we know if the bin was standing up or on it's side?

So we still don't know how her body was in the recycle bin, how it was positioned and why LE says it's suspicous. I think she was positioned there. JMO

I would guess the silence from LE is because they are waiting on the toxicology part of the autopsy report.

Hi all, just sharing that they had a memorial service for Ms. Novaes today, as shared by her daughter and her church. Also included was her obituary. She seems like a lovely, giving woman who was truly cherished by her family & friends.

No update? This poor woman.

I'm really surprised that there has been nothing for weeks now.

 

[carbuff]

If they're waiting on lab results, it'll probably be another 3-4 weeks or more. I'm extrapolating based on how long other cases around this part of Massachusetts have been taking.

I really wish there was more coverage of this. If it hadn't have happened on the same day as Uvalde, the story probably would have picked of more steam.
