## Truman Boyle

{{< persona title="Truman Boyle" thumbnail="https://res.cloudinary.com/solardump/image/upload/v1729406674/persons/user.png">}}

Truman Boyle is the current newly elected commissioner for the county who defeated Nancy Thrash in the primary election. He is also a retired Georgia State Patrolman, and the former father-in-law to the county's fire chief, Douglas Matthews. His recent appearance on the political stage, coincidentally timed with the aftermath of his former son-in-law's collaboration and organization to ruin what we once recognized as home, could mark a shifting of the tides from the current corrupt manner in which our local government is operating.

The question remains, what will Mr. Boyle do about our family's quest for some semblance of accountability and fairness? Is he getting involved to right the wrongs done by his daughter's ex-husband, or is his new presence on the political stage, yet another effort to cover up for his daughters ex-husband? It would be far easier to right the wrongs, than try to cover it up at this point. The truth has a way of rising to the occasion and revealing itself to those who search for it.

Mr. Boyle helped, Chief Matthews move his daughter and granddaughters into a camping trailer behind Dayton house, and as such would have possession of knowledge on how it was arranged in order to prevent anyone else in the neighborhood, not even the next door neighbors, from finding it out. He must have known about the three-way deal between Doug, Shane, and Matt. Mr. Boyle is very smart, and would have known illegally brokering the sale of Bill Dayton's property in exchange for personal benefit was against the law. He probably didn't want to say anything out of respect for his daughter. 

for around a thirty percent discount on the price of house, and the sweat heart deal the Chief made with Shane Tyler to ensure Shane would be the only one allowed to make a bid on the other property owned by Bill Dayton at a discounted price, in exchange for using equipment owned by The Helix Group LLC without their knowledge or permission, which constitutes minor theft of equipment usage in corporate terms. Boyle knows about the months Chief Matthews took off of work to embellish upon the Dayton Home before buying it, and the habitual practice of stealing time from county taxpayers practiced by the Fire Chief.

Having known our family for most of, if not all of his life, Mr. Boyle would know the allegations that led to the raid of our home by seven deputies were obvious fabrications, and would also be able to clarify the Fire Chief's involvement in the raid, since his own daughter appears to have been informed about it, at the latest, as it was happening. The arrest report, which led to six hours in solitary confinement and over 48 hours being detained without warning for an unknown reason, would easily be recognized as suspect of falsification. 

Most critical of all, Mr. Boyle knows his former son-in-law, Chief Matthews, is lying to county officials by claiming to be out of town, the night Chief Matthews refused to fulfill his duty as a public safety officer. That night, Chief Matthews was seen sitting in an off-road vehicle less than twenty-five yards from our oldest family member, who also possesses a heart condition, and was desperately searching for her missing son in the middle of the night. Chief Matthews knew exactly where her son was, because he was just leaving the home of the individuals who he set up a crooked real estate for and who exaggerated the events in order to have her son jailed. When she spotted him, and called out for his help, all he had to do was say, "Your son has been detained by the sheriff." Instead, Chief Matthews left her in the dark alone, and allowed for her condition to deteriorate further in despair as she continued to look for her missing son for hours. Mr. Boyle's father used to work alongside this family member, would tell jokes and have long talks with her while the two braked from work.

Then again, if there is one thing we have learned from this ordeal, it is not to count your chickens before they hatch. There has been a lot of intentional smearing of our family, and Commissioner Boyle's daughter was married to the one who appears to have done some of it. He might actually be convinced enough to believe some of it. As hard as it is to believe Commissioner Boyle didn't know what his son-in-law was doing to us, there are no signs he ever made an effort to stop it.
