At Rest

Deadly force
Texan and former officer Matusiewicz had been embroiled in an epic custody battle for his three granddaughters. His son had kidnapped them and absconded to Central America in 2005, was captured in 2009, and was in prison in February 2013. At a hearing at the county courthouse, Matusiewicz assassinated his former daughter-in-law and the friend she came to court with. Under fire from police, he shot himself in the head.
This record exists so that Thomas S. Matusiewicz, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
