An Arkansas woman has allegedly confessed to authorities that her late husband murdered a mother and son who have been missing for nearly two decades.
Barbara Krusen told FBI agents during a post-polygraph interview this month that her now-dead husband, Clarence, killed Angela Mack Cox, 20, and her 4-year-old son Thomas Michael Rettew. Authorities believe Clarence Krusen incinerated their remains at Cox s Alton, Missouri farm in December 2002. [Clarence] had done away with both Angela Mack Cox and Thomas Michael Rettew by killing them and destroying their bodies in a furnace that they had attached to their farmhouse,” Fulton County Sheriff Al Roork said in a news release. She stated when they moved from the farmhouse, he told her the furnace had to go because of what it had been used for.”

Thomas Michael “Mikey” Rettew were killed and disappeared in 2002. The case now appears to have finally been solved – but the killer can’t go to jail.
According to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas, the mother and child were murdered in late 2002 or early 2003 before being placed in a furnace and burned away into nothing.
Even the farmhouse furnace used to remove their bodies from the earth along with all evidence of the crime is no longer available.
