Officials say legal system failed to prevent tragedy
Frederick authorities and Heartly House officials say gaps in the legal system allowed a domestic violence case to escalate. Hugh Michael Buttry, 47, killed his wife Catherine Marie Buttry, 45, and her mother Almeda Trout, 68 in Boonsboro, then died by suicide in Gaithersburg seven hours later. The victim had sought counseling from Heartly House after years of abuse. a requested psychological evaluation order was not enforced. District Court records show a handwritten note for evaluation attached to a bond file, but not acted upon by Judge Frederick 3. Bower. Officials emphasized the need for stronger court actions to mandate mental health proceedings in suspected batterer cases.
