Filmmaker Barbara Kopple explores the legacy of the 1989 murder of Noreen Boyle in Mansfield, Ohio.
Her 12-year-old son Collier gave a devastating videotaped testimony blaming his father for the murder. Now, over two decades later, Collier returns to Ohio seeking to retrace his past and confront his imprisoned father, who remains in denial of his guilt. Collier’s depth of character is a wonder to behold from childhood to adulthood. Out of this tragic story, we witness the power of human resilience. In these videos on Dr Phil’s YouTube channel, it shows 12 year old Collier testifying against his own father. His mother was killed in 1989 says there was “no way” prosecutors could talk him out of testifying at his father’s murder trial, and claims her murder was premeditated and that his dad “went on a crusade” to get him to rescind his testimony after the trial.
Her body was later found in the basement of a secret house Collier’s Father owned, a house that Collier told the police about. It must have been so hard on him to know that he was leaving that courtroom without any parents.
