Owen Meyers' father

They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Owen Meyers' father. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias.

Owen Meyers' father was an American citizen and the lawful husband of Owen’s mother. Despite her parents’ disapproval, he took good care of his wife and child until his death.

Biography

Owen’s father met his mother when they were teenagers. They got along well, but her parents disapproved of him because of his past involvement in petty crimes. He grew out of this behavior as he reached adulthood, later marrying Owen’s mother and having a child with her.

Owen’s father provided well for his family, ensuring they had a home and two cars. However, his life took a turn when he developed a gambling problem, which led him into debt. To avoid major changes to his family’s lifestyle, he resorted to gambling in an attempt to pay off the debt he had accumulated. His wife and the Meyer family were unaware of his gambling problems or the debts he had racked up. In an attempt to resolve his financial struggles, he and a group of friends attempted to rob a branch of Malta Bank Corporation. The attempt failed, and after being abandoned by his friends, he was arrested for attempted robbery and the murder of an innocent guard. A police officer later arrived at their home to inform Owen’s mother and him of the events.

Owen believed his father had participated in the robbery because the evidence against him was overwhelming. However, Owen could not bring himself to believe that his father had murdered anyone.

Legacy

Following his death, Owen and his mother lost their home and everything they owned to settle his debts. They were forced to move in with Owen’s grandparents, who frequently criticized Owen’s father. Their negative views not only affected Owen’s perception of his father but also diminished the positive memories Owen and his mother had of him. Later, when Owen was imprisoned due to an illness, he encountered several therapists who attempted to help him process his father’s death, but none succeeded in reaching him. The constant remarks from his grandparents led Owen to believe that his perception of his father differed from his family’s view. This belief drove him to obsess over proving his father’s innocence in the murder.
