Was that razor that an injured man dropped into an opened drain while hanging by the neck recovered? Sounds to me like someone wanted Jason McCoy shut up.

I am a corrections officer for the state of missouri, and i must say that the officers that was in charge of the wellbeing of your husband, with almost absolute certianty was not involved in the death of your husband. Corrections today is not what it was 3- or 40 years ago. Officers do not ruff up inmates. There is a much greater demand for rehabilitation instead of retribution for crimes committed. As a officer we encourage inmates to better themselves for the day that they will be back on the streets, because often times they will end up being neighbors with someone that we know. I beleive that there is probably some wrong doing involved but it is not by the officers. Officer report only things that they know as facts and what they observe. Without being there i cannot say what happened. But it is next to impossible to get another inmate to RAT on another inmate without something in return. If the state is unwilling to give something for someone to talk, no one will talk. I am sorry for you and your familys lose. Not all inmates are bad people. Good luck on your search for the truth, be persistant and find a good attorney. If you keep at them long enough someone will talk. Good luck and God Bless

I thank you, for what you are saying. You're a corrections officer, in Missouri? I wasn't there, so do not know what exactly happened either, but I do know that he was making plans for what he was going to do when he got home. He only had 22 days left, before getting released to come home. Isn't it a fact, that the Law, is to treat a scene such as this one, as a homicide, until there's proof that it was a suicide? Well, that isn't what happened in our situation! From the very day it happened, all they have said is he committed suicide. It was already in the papers by the 15th, saying where he was found and it had been ruled a suicide. What is wrong with this picture? No weapon had been found, the "investigation" was not complete, all reports were not complete. So, exactly how does a Correctional Facility get away with just saying it was a suicide, but yet NOTHING was complete? Those are the things that I do not understand! They just want to wash their hands of it, it was a suicide and that's it! No, that's not it! Jason had a family, he has children who love's their Dad, but yet have their feelings even been taken into consideration? No they haven't. BCC has shown no compassion, no nothing! Basically the way it's been done, is well he committed suicide, we don't know what happened, but that's just it! No condolences to his children who are now left without their Dad, who messed up in life one time! I'm not making excuses, but that's the way it happened. Jason for some reason, took a wrong turn somewhere, and went down the wrong path, it took being incarcarated to make him realize that he needed Help. His mind was clear, free of drugs, and he was better, a better person for going through what he'd gone through. Jason was coming home, to make things right, right with his family, his boys. Before he went down the wrong path, Jason was a good man, his family was his first priority, he was a hard worker! I could go on and on...But my point is that Jason messed up in life ONE time, he didn't get a 2nd chance to make it right! Why? We don't know, because someone doesn't see it as important, after all, he was just a # to them! Still no answers! Of all people, his boys have the right to know what happened to their Dad!
Thank you, for your caring thoughts...
