Former New Orleans Saints defensive end Glenn Foster Jr. died in police custody. His family wants answers

PAMELA FOSTER TURNS the question over in her mind, day in and day out: Why did her husband, a retired New Orleans Saints player-turned-successful-businessman, end up dead in the backseat of a police SUV, two days after he was arrested in rural Alabama?

Nearly three months after the death of Glenn Foster Jr., his grieving family has received no answers from authorities in Pickens County, Alabama, where Foster was taken into custody halfway through his drive from New Orleans to Atlanta on a business trip.

They have no official autopsy results. No incident reports. No explanation from the sheriff's department that was transporting Foster when he died.
