DEAD BOY WOULD TELL JULI McCRERY "IT'S OK, MOMMY'

IN AN astonishing leap, accused child killer Juli McCrery's ex-boyfriend claims the woman's dead son would have forgiven her. McCrery, 42, from Irving, Texas, was arrested last week and charged with murdering her 6-year-old boy, Camden Hughes and then dumping his lifeless body on a remote road in Maine. Now, friends and family are trying to make sense of the terrible tragedy.
Ex beau Robert Miller said: “He would tell her, ‘It’s OK, Mommy.' He loved her just as much as she loved him. I was the only dad Camden ever knew."
McCrery is being held without bail in New Hampshire and others who
knew her painted a picture of a woman who was "deeply troubled." Miller's mom Shirley, a longtime friend of McCrery is struggling with what would compel McCrery to kill.

She said: “I’m not mad at her because I know she wasn’t in a right frame of mind when she did that. She wasn’t the type of person to do that. That’s why it’s so hard to believe.”

A funeral for Camden will be held Saturday in Grande Prairie, Texas.
