A battle is brewing in Bedford County. An Everett man is fighting a legal ruling which gave the remains of his murdered girlfriend to her sisters. Ron Grubb says he is twice the victim. The first is when his girlfriend and mother of their two children was killed. The second is when her remains were given away without him knowing anything about it. "I was furious, I was furious," said Grubb. Bedford County Judge Thomas Ling ruled Tuesday Notestine's two sisters can take possession of her remains, but Grubb says he was never told about the hearing. "You would have thought a judge with any tenacity in Bedford County would have at least notified me," said Grubb. "It isn't as if i haven't been in the paper and drug through the @#$% for the last 4 years." It was April of 2000 when Notestine was kidnapped from her home in Clearville. A massive search followed, but she was never found. Until this past March when a local man stumbled across skeletal remains. Officials determined it was Holly Notestine and that she had been murdered. Since then the remains have been taken to Washington for forensic examination, but Grubb says he's getting no indication from police that an arrest is imminent. He also believes there will always be more questions than answers. "Closure? It'll never make no sense why this girl's life was taken from her," said Grubb. He now has 10 days to file a petition of his own which also seeks the remains. Grubb is in the process of doing that right now.
