My dad murdered my mom then killed himself — now I’m turning it into a story about hope
NY Post
Kait Granger remembers telling her mom she loved her for the last time.
It was December 8, 2019, when Granger ran back into the apartment the two shared in Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb outside of St. Louis, to grab a Diet Coke before her young-adult ministry internship at her church.
“I got to hug her and tell her that I love her. It was a sweet little moment,” Granger told The Post.
Later that night, her mom, Bobette Everhart-Boal, 59, went to a Christmas party. Granger woke up randomly around 2 a.m. and saw a text her father, Michael Boal, 59, had around 12:45 a.m. asking her to take care of the dog. She had a weird feeling.
“I woke up to go get my mom upstairs and she wasn’t there. I pulled up her location on my phone and saw she was in the parking lot. I said, ‘There’s no way she’s just coming home.'”
Granger opened the blinds and saw flashing lights and cop cars next to yellow crime scene tape.
