News An Update on Summer Lipford
Posted By Karen Shugart on Mon, Jun 4, 2007 at 3:20 PM
Summer Lipford, the Statesville woman whose son died under odd circumstances in Iraq, says the military has told her that it's re-opening the investigation into his death.
Lipford, whose story I wrote about in November, believes her son, Pfc. Steven Sirko, was murdered. She's been crusading for answers since his death on April 17, 2005. The Observer had this update Sunday.
Lipford told me Sunday evening that she's trying not to get her hopes up. She notes the difficulty other families, including the relatives of former football star Pat Tillman, have found when trying to get answers about the deaths of loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Keep your fingers crossed," she says.
