A friend drove past the house and said that the address numbers are still not on the house. Perhaps too many tourists?
An interesting development. I drove past the house today and I noticed that the address numbers on the house have been removed.Why now?
Where can one find the Bowdern/Halloran diary? It it in any of the books? I have only read one, The Devil Came to St.Louis, and its only mentioned in there with a few excepts.
Perhaps that too. I only became interested in this a few weeks ago and read the book “The Devil Came to St.Louis”. It was only then that I found out that I knew where the house was and that I lived close to it and had been there while reading electric meters. In the book I saw that I knew the sister of a guy that had lived there and then talking to a friend found out that her Grandmother had worked at the White House Retreat Center. A great number of things came together for me at one time. After finding this Forum I see what his real name is and his high school yearbook photo.
I would guess that because his real name and location is now known he has been hounded by people as it is. Its a good thing he was able to grow up without this public knowledge until later in life. I remain amazed that no one ratted the kid out for money or that those who knew him did not sell out.I think the reason for the sort of vow of silence was to protect Ronald from a life of being hounded by people. We see how celebrities are treated by the media and fighting with photographers etc. I admire everyone involved in this case. A good number of family,friends,and the clergy involved including Ronald himself could have made a fortune telling all they know. No one has really done this. The clergy and the Catholic church in general saved Ronalds life and have not wanted to cash in on it or even talk about it.
Conspiracy? Yes, and a good one.No, but its mentioned in the book “The Devil Came to St.Louis”. Working with the Jesuits she may have had more information but Jennifer says that she will not discuss it.
She does not speak of it except to say that she was at work that day and saw him outside. She won’t say anymore. She was employed by the Jesuits at the retreat center and may have agreed to keep silent like all the rest.
I think its just not a big deal to them. Its my understanding that people never bother anyone they just drive by very slow or just long enough to take a picture and then leave.
I found out the other day that my friend Jennifer’s Grandmother,who is still living, worked at the White House Retreat Center. It is run by the Jesuits in south St.Louis county. This is a place where Fr Bowdern took Ronald on a visit. While seeing the outdoor Stations of the Cross during the daytime, Ronald began having an episode.
Her Grandmother remembers it but did not know at the time that this was a case of possision. She like all the others never speaks of it.No, They have all passed away or moved. The neighbors all know about the house but act like its no big deal. They are used to people driving by to see it.
This is the house in St.Louis where everything happened. Ronald only went to Alexian Brothers hospital at the very end. I know the sister of a guy that used to own the house. Its only about 10 minuets from my house. Here is a link to a picture of it.
