An investigation of the 2006 auto-crash death of 26-year-old Heather Myer has been re-opened by the WV State Police.
Her body was found some distance from the crashed vehicle, the car landing in a Big Bend yard along State Rt. 5.
Calhoun Prosecutor Rocky Holmes said Wednesday that, "The Heather Myer case is being re-investigated by the West Virginia State Police as to whether it was an accident or intentional death."
Holmes said the investigation is being conducted by Cpl. J.A. Bowles, who has recently been assigned to the Grantsville detachment.
Myer (pictured left) was a passenger in a car, with the driver not determined during the initial investigation.
Authorities indicated that the two males who were in the vehicle claimed the other was the driver.
Police did say speed and alcohol were factors in the fatality case.
Since the incident, Myer family members have been relentless in finding answers to her untimely death. She left behind two small children.
Officials first indicated that the driver was Justin Boatright. Boatright, who was extracted from what was called "a tangled mess," was airlifted by HealthNet from the scene to Charleston Area Medical Center, suffering multiple injuries.
Drew Jones, 17 at the time, reportedly ran from the scene, knocking on doors and asking for help. He ended-up at a friends house in Big Bend, declining medical help.
Even though a reconstruction of the accident was done by State Police, they were unable to obtain forensics to determine who was driving.
The 2003 Cavalier was traveling east through Big Bend when it went out of control, rolling over, going airborne, clipping a telephone pole, then clipping an electric pole, and coming to rest in a driveway.
