Estate Of Murdered Woman Files Lawsuit Against Grosse Pointe Woods And Grosse Pointe Farms Police Departments In U.S. District Court In Detroit

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- When JoAnn Matouk Romain's body was found floating in the Detroit River near Amherstburg, Ontario in the spring of 2010, Grosse Pointe Farms and Grosse Pointe Woods Police ruled the 55-year-old woman's death as a suicide. It is believed that there was and still is evidence indicating that Matouk Romain was murdered and then dumped into the water. There is possible evidence that shows witnesses not being interviewed, Matouk Romain's torn handbag and other material goods not consistent with a suicide. Matouk Romain also filled her car up with gas just prior to going to church right before she disappeared, hardly consistent with someone about to commit suicide. The Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Woods Police Departments, along with Wayne County Prosecutor, Kym Worthy are named as defendants.

JoAnn's devoted daughter Michelle has spent more than $250,000 of her own money on attorneys, expert witnesses and private investigators, including legendary Detroit Crime Reporter Scott Lewis.

Ari Kresch, President and CEO of 1-800-LAW-FIRM says, "Michelle and her siblings deserve justice and their mother has earned the right to be at peace. They have filed suit in United States District Court and are asking for damages in excess of $100 Million Dollars on behalf of the estate of JoAnn Matouk Romain."

The 1-800-LAW-FIRM lawsuit alleges the following:

• Civil Rights Violations committed against JoAnn Matouk Romain pre-death and against the surviving Romain children after the murder.
• Michelle, the daughter of Matouk Romain, claims that police went to her home and stated that her mother was missing based on running a license plate. The only problem is that the license plate they ran belonged to Michelle and there is possible evidence that the plate was not even run until 30 minutes after police came to the Matouk Romain home.
• Denial of access to the courts.
• Freedom of Information Act violations.

Present at the News Conference will be Michelle Romain and her two siblings along with Solomon Radner, the lead attorney on the case along with Ari Kresch. Copies of the complaint will be available at the News Conference.
