“The family and I are really upset,” Marilyn Walton told Channel 2′s Tom Jones .
They are upset with Forest Park police after their loved one, 48-year-old Timothy Crowley was found dead at the MARTA bus shelter on Riverdale Road on Jan. 22.
Police say his body was frozen after he was there during some of the coldest temperatures of the new year. Walton says what happened left her family sad and mad.
“Don’t nobody deserve to die on the street and being froze to death,” she said.
Walton says she reported her brother missing to Forest Park police four years ago. He was mentally ill and homeless.
She says she would routinely call, email and text to find out about the progress of the case, but no one would call her back.
“If they had somebody that kept us updated and had somebody on this case, that’s supposed to be investigating, this could have been prevented,” she said.
