At this point in time Mrs. Boyles death is classified as suspicious. Eyewitness News spoke with the Son-in-Law of Mrs. Boyles. He did not want to appear on camera but said, "Vennie was a sweet --dear woman who wanted to give her son a second chance. His behavior has begun to deteriorate over the past several week and many family members stayed away from him." Neighbor Mary Bailey said, "I think many people here are afraid because we don't know what happened..we are a bit leery." Milton Police say they want to hear from anyone who may know the whereabouts of Mark Boyles--he has not been accused of any crime.
