The Wife of a Small City Doctor Was Buried Inside the Floor of His New House; Then the Whole Story Shocked the Country
The tragic case of Noreen Boyle
Collier was asleep when he heard a loud thud, then another.
Collier panicked. Then, the police received a surge of concerned phone calls from Noreen’s friends.
Noreen’s body was found buried inside the fresh concrete floor of their new house.
Noreen Was Forty-Four
Noreen Marie Schmid Boyle was a forty-four-year-old mother of two.
She lived in Mansfield, Ohio, with her forty-six-year-old husband, Dr. John “Jack” Boyle, and their two children, Collier and Elizabeth.
Noreen was a dental hygienist.
Her husband was the most successful doctor in town. He had the largest medical practice in Richland County.
Therefore, the Boyle family lived a comfortable life.
Their children attended private schools. Noreen enjoyed shopping, and she would often take Collier along. But John was a rageaholic behind closed doors.
He often took out his anger on either Noreen or Collier.
