Missing man found buried in wife's flower garden

Police were told by neighbors that Bostic's husband, David Ellis Bostic, had not been seen for years. Mrs. Bostic had told family, friends and neighbors in the mid 1990s that he had suffered a stroke and was going to be moved from North Carolina to New Jersey, where Ruth said she had a sister who worked at a nursing home, reported the News and Observer . News reports claimed Ruth was no longer in contact with her family members or the family of David Bostic and "appeared to suffer from mental illness," reported the New York Daily News . "Her family hadn't talked with her in years and years," said Raleigh police Detective J.D. Faulk. "Over time, her mental problems got worse and worse." The NY Daily news said, neighbors claimed she was quite imaginative in her story telling, "claiming to have worked in a German concentration camp and having a personal friendship with a Russian czar." Unable to locate David Bostic, who would have been 99-years-old this year, police detectives assumed he must be dead or in a nursing home and didn't think anymore of the situation until almost a year later. That's when Raleigh police were contacted by the Social Security Administration, who were still issuing checks to David Bostic following Ruth's death. Ruth had been receiving the direct deposited checks for almost 15 years, before her death. They were being deposited into a joint account, that she shared with her husband for many years. With no activity on the bank account, Social Security began an investigation that ended when police, who were now investigating the whereabouts of the missing man, went back to the home they had shared to search for more clues that would lead to finding him or would explain his absence. The detectives, who were baffled by the mysterious disappearance, then turned their eyes towards a flower bed in the backyard. Reports say, Ruth Bostic had "loving attended the garden for years." With " pickaxes and shovels " in hand, the officers began to dig up the area. After breaking through the concrete that was partially poured under the flower bed, police got their first clue on where David Bostic had been hiding all those years, when they found the first bone.

“I'm Only Trying To Get Back What I Paid In”

I understand the sentiment but it really doesn’t get you very far with Social Security. Actually, if you are approved for Social Security disability benefits, within a couple of years you’ll probably be paid everything you actually paid into the Social Security trust funds and then some. People badly overestimate how much they pay in FICA taxes. You actually don’t want back just what you paid into Social Security because that would be quickly exhausted. What you want are the insurance benefits you paid for over the years. If your house burns down, the insurance company doesn’t just refund the premiums you paid in.  The insurance company pays you for the loss to the extent of your insurance. It doesn’t matter whether that house has been insured for only a few days or for decades before the fire. I am sorry to say that Social Security is not able to provide service that is as courteous or as professional as one might like and that the agency is far less sympathetic to disabled people than I think they should. Congress is not giving the agency adequate operating funds and service is not at all what it should be . Congress has traditionally been quite concerned about Social Security approving too many disability claims. It’s always been difficult to get approved for Social Security disability.
