Jen Thomas Bidwell Mother of Son Terron Evans R.I.P.

The silence ends now. I am the BLM Potsdam NY Organizer in St.Lawrence County(the largest county by area in NYS, One of the most racist counties if not the most in NYS) . My 26 year old son Terron Evans Jr.moved here to Potsdam NY in June 2020 and is now dead of a supposed overdose of Wellbutrin pills. His girlfriend who has a relationship with the Potsdam Police,who I've been going up against for over a year for the justice of Garrett Phillips were the first responders on the scene and the ones to never call or come by to tell me about my son.I have many reasons to believe there was foul play. Regardless of how my son died,he was turned down,denied,abused,rejected,by our systems pretty much all of his life, that I thought were supposed to help him/us,but did not.

Terron decided to move here instead of back to his hometown of Syracuse NY to stay away from the drama,but it was almost impossible for him to get on his feet here being a black man.The following is why I believe foul play may have occurred and most definatly Systemic racism is part of why my son is dead.12 year old Garrett Phillips was strangled in his apartment at 100 Market St Potsdam NY on October 24th 2011(there are many many media outlets and podcasts around the world that covered this case,because of the treatment of Nick Hillaary,misconduct and incompitence of the Potsdam Police and the modern day lynching of a black man).Imediatley Garrett's mother's black ex boyfriend Nick Hillary was considered a suspect.Nick was asked to go to the police station to go over a list of kids names.It was an interrogation.He was detained,made to completley strip necked and be photographed from head to toe.His phone and other belongings were taken and he was given a hasmat suit to go home in.Nick was indicted twice.The first time it was thrown out because of lack of evidence and misconduct by the Prosecutor Mary Rain.The second time he was found not guilty by the judge and Mary Rain's law lisence was suspended for two years because of her misconduct(including withholding information by a witness from the defense attorneys because it did not go with her theory).PLEASE WATCH THE 2 PART HBO DOCUMENTARY WHO KILLED GARRETT PHILLIPS(it can be watched on YouTube).Garretts mother's other ex boyfriend Deputy Sheriff John Jones (who was close friends with Mark Murray,then lead investigator in the murder,now Potsdam Police Chief)was also a suspect.He was allowed to participate in the investigation from the very beginning.He accompanied Garrett's mother Tandy Cyrus(despite Tandy previously fearing for her and her boys saftey of John Jones) the following morning to the police station for her questioning.."John Jones" had pictures of his feet and arms taken.Fully clothed and no face included in the photos.A child was murdered,the police made errors almost from the time Garrett was found on the floor in his mother's room,there was misconduct,not following other leads throughout the years and Garrett's killer evaded justice.The Potsdam Police still say that Nick is the one that murdered Garrett,therefore have not taken leads seriously.I have asked the current DA Gary Pasqua(Who will be running for DA again) to do a Sentinal Event Review,he refuses.I have asked him to refer the case to the Attorney general for an independent investigation,he refuses and he said that the State Police are the independent investigation.The State Police were involved in the investigation from the day Garrett was killed.They also have close ties to the Phillips family and commuity.I have Asked Gary if he would make a public statement announcing that leads should go to the State Police and not the Potsdam Police(the justice for Garrett Phillips sign and billboard say to call Potsdam Police with information)but he refuses.I was on the Committee for police reform in Potsdam NY,but resigned recently last year because my concerns of racism and bias within the Potsdam Police department and community were not being taken seriously,shot down and even ignored.T
