The mother of the Medford woman whose burning remains were found in Connecticut says she received chilling text messages sent from her daughter’s phone after her daughter disappeared.
Barbara Ross says one message said her daughter’s boyfriend had her tied up in a basement against her will. But the family says they believe the boyfriend had nothing to do with Rebecca Koster’s death.
Police found Koster’s burning remains in North Stonington, Conn., late on Dec. 4. The remains were identified Wednesday.
Koster’s death has been ruled a homicide. No arrests have been made.
Koster’ family believes the messages were from her killer. They believe the texts are an attempt to cover the killer’s tracks or divert blame, or a prank.
