Back to home page

When Lori got out of treatment, she was living with Hank.They had a trailer together in Burlington She was working in Burlington. Had her car that Hank had got for her. And her life was falling together very nicly. And than that day would come again when the feelings and thoughts and the emotional up heavul would start in her head. Be it part of her childhood or the things that happpend to her in her young adult life. Or the chose's that she made and had wish that she could of done something different. The pain or thought's would become so over whelming that the only way out was to drink. Even though it would only last a few hour's the price to pay would be worth it.Just to make it stop for just a little whilely. Lori and Hank had been through this a lot. She know that her liver was not in the best condition. And to drink would cause problem with her and Hank.
Lori ended up moving to Fort Madison to live with her brother. She found a job at the Iowa Inn and had been working there for a few week's. She also so had a DUI that was going to put her back in to treatment and she was hit with fine's and she was to lose her lic.By the paper work that I got in the mailed. To me it looks like she had one in Fort Madison and one in Keokuk in May. She also had wrote over $200.00 in bad checks. I found receipts for food and smoke's and gas and beer dated for the 24 and the 25th   Sometime's She would stay with her brother and his wife in there house and other time's in a little travel trailer parked out back. Her brother did his thing.... and she did her's... Lori would bring a guy over to the trailer parked out back. And they would have a few beer's...... In time this became not ok with Lori's brother. Why because he is merried and has a new baby and was worried about what it would look like. He also got a letter from the city stating that no one could live in the trailer no longer than 10 day's and did not like the way she was living even though there was time's in his life that he did the same thing's.
On the 26th of Sept. Lori's last day at work. She worked from 8:55 to 1:40 Lori manager said he talked with Lori that day and she seened to be fine .She had not been drinking and she was a very good worker. He also said her co-work did tell him that Lori was talking about a argument that her and her brother had got into.That had to of been on the 25th the argument was over Lori drinking with Gary in the trailer her brother kicked Gary out and had words with Lori. Lori got mad and left Brother said he saw her later about 6:30 or so.(That night and it was the last time he saw her) He had not seen her for a few days so he though she was not coming back so he unplugged the trailer On the 29th
On the 26th Colorado said Before Lori went to work that morning. She and a friend Gary was seen by Colorado at 5:30 am or 6:30 am in the alley about 4 blocks from her brothers. He spoke with them and went for coffee befor He said Lori seened to be fine to him they went to work. Lori was seeing Colorado befor she went to treatment and after.
She was also seeing Gary he was living in her car with her. And she was also seeing guy named Rambo and a Bill.

On the 27 or 28th Gary, Bill said that Lori and them were all at Bill's home but they can't remember the time it was, in the evening. Gary stated to bill he and Lori have been staying in Lori's car and that they had beed staying behide Bob's house. And that he had been staying in the car with Lori very seen's Lori and her brother had got n into it.

On the 28th Bill said He was with Lori at his home He lived downstair's they watched a movie together and that they picked up a case of beer that day. Bill said that Lori had been staying with him for about three and a haft week's off and on.Some times she would stay in his Apartment and other times she would sleep in her car parked out frount Bill said, Lori got up set over the cockroaches in his apt.And he als told Lori that a guy by the name of Rambo was trying to got a hold of her.

To get to the slough you would have to go down a gravel road and over rail road tracks and it is in a very wooded and a desolate place. For her to go to so late at night)
On the 30th between 11:00 or 1:00 brother saw Lori's car in the garage it was backed in and the hatch back was opened.( He also told the police that for her to back her car in she would of had to get out and walk up to side door and take a fill pan of oil out of the gagage and pull open the lock and he felt that she would of had a hard time doing that.) He thought she was sleeping He left and went shoping the police asked for receipts they where dated for the 29th. But the police where called on the 30th at about 7:00pm my brother called me. And told me that Lori was died.
The police found Lori's car with the key on and out of gas and the battery was died. After the police where done with my sister's car I drove it home. I am sirpized that it made it home. It needs frount end work done and the steeling wheel move's about 2" each way it had no water and was very low in oil. I could not drive it over 35 I have only been about to start it once from the time I parked it. Also in the car the police said it looked like she had been living in her car. Yes it did look like that. She had very little food can opener suite case and her bag pak was paked for work. And blankets sleeping bag and pillow and a comforter.
