A week has passed since Samuel Custer was found dead in his car, parked in a West Side garage. However, the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. The Houston Police Department is grappling with the investigation due to the lack of a clear cause of death, leaving Custer’s family in a state of mourning and uncertainty.
Julia Narcisse, Samuel’s sister, shared that her brother was on a journey of self-improvement, focusing on his children and staying out of trouble. The inconsistent information from the police has left her and her family in a state of distress.
Family members of Custer, who have traveled from different states, have congregated in Houston to support his mother in her quest for 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, voiced 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.
