You need to see the amazing “moving billboard” being used in Michigan to publicize the failures and most likely corruption in the investigation into the 2020 death of JoAnn Matouk Romain.
Here’s what’s more amazing. A man driving a white van (seriously, pal?) repeatedly rammed the moving billboard on June 30 as it sat parked on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods. A bystander got photos.
The most recent episode of No One Knows, A Deep Dive Podcast into the death of JoAnn Matouk Romain, describes the hit and run crime:

See also the episode page and if you are on Instagram and the related post/photos/videos. In the days of ubiquitous security cameras and phone cameras, just how brazen do you have to be to pull this? How secure in the thought that nothing would come of this?
Let’s see how law enforcement deals with the suspect in this hit and run. Who hired this idiot? Laser focus on this one, please.
JoAnn’s tragic case demonstrates what happens when law enforcement is empowered to fuck with people. Or to protect dirty players/family members rather than speak for the victim. You should not feel safe if you live in a community or county like JoAnn did. Her family should not have had to file a federal lawsuit or had to mount such a long-term fight in response to this corruption. Think it could never happen to you? Just hope you never need the police. For any reason. Ever.
Outrageous but unsurprising in southeastern Michigan.

Interesting-saw nothing on the news about this or in the paper.
Cathy, You know about where i live. Did not see any news report on this , but plenty about fall football.
There will never be anything in the news on this. Whoever reports anything will be shut out of any other news stories. Also there is nothing to gain. Some reporters already have their awards from this “suicide” story. Need to move on and find a new story to get other awards. Even the local Grosse Pointe News will not report anything. Very embarrassing to such a well known community. All of this happening in the home town area of Frank and Alger Sheldon.
The banners have been flying for many years over Macomb and Oakland Counties. The billboard truck is new to this year. Obviously it has been very effective. Why else would someone commit hit and run, leaving the scene of an accident, and possibly malicious destruction of property.
But it is still too soon. Cathy is right. Let’s see how this progresses in the investigation and legal arena. What they do in the future will speak volumes.
It was on June 30 that this incident occurred, and still no Police investigation.
Perhaps Grosse Pointe Woods Police has too many murders to investigate.
Perhaps they have too many drug dealers, and human traffickers to follow up on.
Perhaps they have not returned from their 8 week vacation.
Perhaps they are still working on any other case from 2010 to 2024.
I commend the podcaster who will not let this story go away. Episode 14 shows the people who instigated the incident are now acting out the role of victim. They are not very good actors.

That PD, the community that puts up with it, the “victims”—all disgusting.
How about that for quick action. Wayne County and the AG pass the case on to Macomb County due to a conflict of interest. That’s great. The suspect will be charged with felonious assault. Of course his uncle can dismiss the case in Macomb County just like he did in 2016.
