It’s been a week since the lifeless body of Samuel Custer was discovered in his vehicle, parked in a West Side garage. The circumstances leading to his death remain shrouded in mystery, leaving the Houston Police Department grappling with an investigation that lacks a clear cause of death. This has left Custer’s family in a state of mourning and uncertainty.
Julia Narcisse, Samuel’s sister, revealed that her brother was on a path of self-improvement, dedicating his time to his children and avoiding trouble. The lack of consistent information from the police has left her and her family in a state of distress.
Custer’s family members, who have traveled from various states, have gathered in Houston to support his mother in her pursuit of truth. Initially, they were informed that Samuel’s death was a homicide, but later, they were told otherwise, adding to their confusion and frustration.
Joy Custer, a relative, expressed her frustration about the lack of updates from the police, questioning why they must travel downtown for any news. The family has not yet been able to see Samuel’s body, further delaying their grieving process.
Houston police officials have indicated that the decomposition of Custer’s body is complicating the autopsy, thus delaying the determination of the cause of death. While they have not ruled out any possibilities, they currently lack definitive answers.
The delay is causing distress for the Custer family. A family member from Colorado expressed the emptiness left by Samuel’s absence, emphasizing their close bond. The silence from him is a constant reminder of their loss.
The family is concerned that crucial evidence is being lost as time passes without progress in the investigation. Despite their pleas for a murder investigation, the police insist that without a medical examiner’s conclusion, their options are limited.
As the days pass, the family clings to the hope of finding closure, yearning for answers in a situation that remains shrouded in mystery.
