WORCESTER Ann Marie Gonzalez has a lot of unanswered questions about her son’s death and also his life.
Less than a year before her 31-year-old son, Phet Gouvonvong Jr. died in a police standoff in Worcester, he’d shown up at her door for the first time in nearly four years.
“I don’t know what happened within that 3½- to 4-year gap,” she said in a phone conversation Thursday from her home in Southbridge, recalling how she’d reported him missing years before.
“Everybody was looking for him,” she said, but he didn’t call, and he didn’t write. One day, about eight months ago, she said, he just showed up at her door with his sister.
