As the police investigation into what authorities have called the suspicious death of a mother in Medford, Massachusetts, continued Tuesday, court records shed new light on the victim's life.
The body of Barbara Hovey Novaes, 61, of Medford, was found Monday morning behind her Emery Street home.
But in an email on May 17, Novaes withdrew her request for a restraining order, saying an agreement had been reached, the records show. Ryan had said Monday that the Medford Police Department had past contact with Novaes for a variety of reasons but did not elaborate.Detectives were back on the street, near Tufts University, on Tuesday trying to figure out what happened."She cared about the neighborhood," said a neighbor, who did not want to be identified, of Novaes."She took really good care of her property, she helped other people out in the winter clearing the snow, whatever anybody needed.
