“#Connecticut mom drives into river to kill herself, special-needs son<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A Connecticut woman intentionally drove into a river with her special-needs son, causing them both to drown, police said this week.<\/p>\n

Investigators determined that the July crash which killed Connie Crowell, 54, and her 22-year-old son Jack was a murder-suicide, The Monroe Sun reported Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tragic incident took place on July 31, 2020, when Crowell plunged her SUV into the Housatonic River, sinking in about 16 to 20 feet of water.<\/p>\n

The vehicle ended up floating upside down about 75 yards from the river bank, Fox61 reported at the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A massive rescue effort unfolded, involving divers and dozens of firefighters, who tried to gain access to the car, but ultimately were unable to save the mother and son.<\/p>\n

During a months-long investigation, police discovered that a boater in the area saw the SUV go into the water and rushed to help, according to Seymour Deputy Police Chief Roberto Rinaldi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boater made numerous attempts to rescue the occupants of the vehicle,\u201d\u00a0Rinaldi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, Connie Crowell refused to acknowledge or accept the boater\u2019s assistance and rescue efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear why Crowell would have intentionally driven into the river.<\/p>\n

She was known in the area for being active at the local high school and for her involvement with the organization Alcohol and Drug Awareness of Monroe.<\/p>\n

A local schools superintendent, Joseph Kobza, told the Sun he had worked closely with Crowell when he was principal of Masuk High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe volunteered her time, pretty much my whole time at Masuk,\u201d Kobza said. \u201cShe was one of the driving forces in coordinating our forum on underage drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her son, John Crowell, known as \u201cJack\u201d to family and friends, graduated from the high school in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody loved Jack,\u201d Kobza said. \u201cHe was always happ<\/a>y, always smiling. He just brightened up everyone\u2019s days.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
