yesterday in the basement of her home at Independence, Mo.

because a note was found in the upstairs dining room of the home.

according to police detective Phil Jacobs.
Det. Jacobs said family members had seen Mrs. Boyles Tuesday evening and were concerned
when she didn’t answer her phone yesterday. They went to the residence, found the note, and the body.
