THE RESILIENCE OF HOPE AND TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY; THE COLLIER LAUNDRY STORY

 THE RESILIENCE OF HOPE AND TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY;

THE COLLIER LAUNDRY STORY

___________________________________________

BRIEF INTO

   "My hope is to share a strong message of residence, hope,

and personal triumph over adversity," states Collier Laundry;

a man, who when he was only 11, was the star witness in the

murder case of his mother (Noreen), at the hands of his father,

(Dr. Boyle). In 2024, he hosts his own You Tube channel called

"MOVER NATION." His focus is on victim advocacy, support

systems and their importance in the court process, and turning

the pain of loss and grief, into a journey of optimism, courage,

and the commitment to not be defined by what his father "did."

DECEMBER 29, 1989 

    On this December night, Collier was 11 years old, and this

was the night his father murdered his mother. That night his 

father, Dr. Boyle killed his mother, Noreen Boyle, and buried her

in a crypt in the house under the basement.

    The death of his mother set off a chain of events including

permanent separation from his sister, but he was also placed

"in hiding" for his safety, as he was the "protected prosecutor's

witness."

    Collier took it upon him to go to the police and share what

knowledge he knew with police in cooperation. Yet, after his

father's arrest, he was abandoned by both sides of his family.

As Collier tells it, he was, "orphaned into the foster care system."

THE TWO LOUD THUDS

   Just before midnight on December 29, 1989, Collier heard

two "loud thuds" coming from his parents bedroom. In the days

that followed Jack (Dr. Boyle), told Collier that his mother had

taken off on a "trip." Even at the young age of 11, Collier was

confident that his mother would NEVER go away without

telling him.

   Within one month, Noreen's body was found by police. Jack

Boyle rented a jackhammer to create a hole in the basement floor;

shopping bags covered Noreen's head, and her body was shoved

into the floor cavity of the basement. When he was finished, he

poured new cement on top to cover the hole; with a rug on top

of the cement.

    When Noreen's autopsy was performed, the medical examiner

concluded that she died from blunt force trauma and suffocation.

    Collier, who had turned 12 by the time his father faced trial,

testified about what he heard the night his mother disappeared.

He also detailed his father's neglect and physical violence

toward his mother that he had previously witnessed.

OPTICS OF REALITY

    Although many court viewers were impressed at not only

Collier's intelligence, but also his cam demeanor. Meanwhile,

Collier himself was facing inner turmoil while awaiting the verdict.

He stated, "I knew if the jury voted to acquit, he'd kill me for

revenge." That was a very real fear that he had to take on,

in addition to the stress of being the star/key witness.

"SMEAR THE VICTIM MODE"

   At some point, after the death of his wife, or alleged 

"disappearance " Jack Boyle went into "smear the victim mode."

He did everything he could in hopes that authorities would find

new suspects. Jack made outlandish, unfounded odd remarks

in the wake of his wife's disappearance. Once he accused her

of being a "gold jewelry smuggler."

   At an undetermined point, Jack Boyle changed his story

altogether. He said he ended her life by accident while having

to defend himself from an assault provoked by Noreen. To

explain his odd behavior, Dr. Boyle said that he had covered

it all up because he knew police "would never believe him."

LIFE BEFORE THE FATEFUL NIGHT

  Up until that night, Collier had lived a comfortable life

with both his parents and was able to attend private school.

   "My mother loved to take me shopping! One thing I cherish

about my mother was as soon as she met someone, she had

a strong hold on them, right away. It was always like strangers

had known her forever."

  As Collier recollects, his father never really "fit the mold." 

Noreen, 44, told Jack, 46, she wanted out of the marriage and

wanted a divorce. Jack, however, persuaded Noreen that they

could "start over" in brand new house. All the while, Collier

maintains, he was plotting the murder of his mother; more

concerned with his pregnant, 26 year old mistress.

2018

  In 2018, Collier wrote and produced a documentary called

"A Murder In Mansfield." In the documentary, there was a 

jailhouse meeting with Collier and his father. Collier had

hoped for the opportunity to truly sit down with his father

to get some answers and resolution. Namely, he wanted to

know why his father chose murder over divorce. His father

in 2018-present still takes no accountability for the death of

Noreen. Repeating, instead, different theories and ideas to

Collier; mostly clinging to accidental death by self-defense.
