North Dakota Inforum: “Nick and Victor Nemec have returned to this straight stretch of asphalt again and again in the last few days. Nick points down to a long shadow of a streak that has soaked into the highway. ‘That’s a blood mark,’ he said, his tone matter of fact. His cousin’s blood. Their cousin, Joe Boever, was struck and killed here at about 10:30 p.m. Sept. 12 by Jason Ravnsborg, the South Dakota attorney general, driving on this patch of U.S. Highway 14 after attending a GOP dinner in Redfield earlier that day. The Nemec brothers were asked to identify Boever’s body late Sunday — the next day.”
“Now the two brothers, who live nearby, are back again at the scene of the crash. They’re conducting their own investigation, pondering marks left by law enforcement and walking journalist after journalist along the north ditch of the busy road where their cousin died. Nick and Victor Nemec have turned this crash site into a living memorial, not as a place to remember, but a place of challenge. The state Highway Patrol’s investigation into the crash continues. The Nemec brothers are here to make sure their cousin gets justice. ‘I want to keep the heat on, seriously,’ said Nick, 62.”
