Gover’s father filed a missing persons report on July 31, 2018 as he deemed it strange for Gover not to contact him, says Authorities.
Ingrid Phillips, mother of Michael Beauchamp’s victim, Gover, stated that Michael Beauchamp is guilty on everything, referring to all the charges indicted to Michael Beauchamp, including the murder of Gover. Gover’s mother was regretful as her late husband did not witness Michael Beauchamp put to justice for murdering their daughter.
The court document shows that Gover’s father reported that Gover was last heard of on July 29 of 2018.
