This article was about Pam's story. Her struggles with DV. To help educate. So when Ann was reading me the article last week and got to Bomars interview. I became shocked. A hugh weight was lifted from my chest. At the time of the murder Bomar gave a few statements.

"We don't know much about what his marital life was like."

Those deaths stunned Kevin Brainard's boss. The Police Chief told us he had no idea this was possible.
"We're all in that, wondering what happened, what we missed, where could we help," said Chief Bill Bomar.
Then Bomar had this to say after nine years. He knew and he lied!
But that week, word of the couple's struggles reached Kevin's boss, Plainwell Chief of Public Safety Bill Bomar. Looking back, he doesn't recall who told him, just that he'd heard a rumor, possibly Plainwell officers who volunteered in the Otsego Fire Department, where Kevin was also a volunteer.
Chief Bomar decided to ask Kevin about it. "He was walking in the station," he recalled recently, "and I grabbed him and said, 'Come on in here a minute.'"
In that conversation, he says, Kevin told him "everything was good" and that he and Pam were planning to take their daughter trick-or-treating later that day.
I wonder what else he is not saying. He knew what Officer Brainard was like and it sounds like more people knew.
