© National Missing and Unidentified Persons DatabaseLouise Pietrewicz's family finally has some closure.
I'm happy. I'm sad. I'm angry. I want to smack somebody." Such is the reaction of a daughter to confirmation that the body of her mother, missing some 50 years, has been found buried beneath the home of her late boyfriend, a married police officer, per
Newsday. After emptying her bank account, 38-year-old Louise Pietrewicz vanished from her family's Long Island farm in October 1966.
Her daughter, Sandy Blampied, was then only 11, reports the
Washington Post. "I gave her a hug and a kiss before I left for school, and I bet that was the day he killed her," Blampied now tells the
Times Herald-Record of one-time Southold police officer William Boken, who died in 1982. An early suspect, per
ABC 7, Boken's conviction for beating his wife landed him in a psychiatric hospital, and no further questioning was done.
