47-year mystery, bittersweet answer
By Jack Hicks, Post Staff Reporter
Rosa Weaver now knows most of the answers about her father. He wasn't murdered when he disappeared nearly a half-century ago, leaving his young family. Instead, he began a new life, with a new family, in another part of the country. Only one question remains, but it's one she'll never get to ask: Why? Mrs. Weaver, principal of R.R. Hinsdale Elementary School in Edgewood, Ky., was just 18 months old when her father, Earl Conover, disappeared in early 1949. Conover was 34 at the time, married with two children and another on the way. He was a partner in a Cincinnati lithographing company, with no apparent financial or family problems. Authorities and family members immediately suspected foul play. Conover had left a meeting with business associates in a College Hill cafe, with a "see you in the morning." Neither the associates, nor Conover's wife, children, parents or other family members ever saw him again.

His car was found abandoned in Columbus, Ohio, with birthday presents for his 9-year-old daughter, Judy, in the trunk. It seemed to re-enforce the theory that Conover had been abducted and murdered.
But late last month Mrs. Weaver received a surprise mailing. Martin Cassidy of Seattle, Wash., had read a July 1992 Kentucky Post story outlining Mrs. Weaver's search for her father. Cassidy believed his late father, Edward Cassidy, was Earl Conover. Documents accumulated by Martin Cassidy indicated that Conover had made his way to Seattle, where he applied for a Social Security card under the name of Edward Cassidy. Soon after, it turned out, he was joined by Martha Conley [sic], who had worked at the lithograph firm. She had taken a trip West and informed her employer and family that she wasn't coming back. She apparently never contacted her family here again. Conover, aka Cassidy, and Miss Conly lived together as man and wife and had four children. The younger Cassidy and his siblings have been unable to find a marriage certificate. In 1953 Cassidy moved to Yakima, Wash., where he became an employee, and then as executive, of a printing firm. he was active in church, lodge, and civic groups, just as he had been in Greater Cincinnati. Cassidy died in 1967, at age 53, of a heart attack. Miss Conley is about 80 and still living in Yakima, though in poor health. Her son has not told her of his contacts with people in this area.

Martin Cassidy always was curious about his parent's lack of family and reluctance to talk about it, other than saying they were from the Cincinnati area. He began to trace his roots and ran into an immediate dead end on the name Cassidy. His mother's lineage led to her brother in Crescent Springs, Ky., who said a detective hired by Mrs. Weaver had contacted him, trying to find Miss Conley and perhaps link her with Conover. The Crescent Springs resident knew nothing of Conover, but mentioned a column on Mrs. Weaver's quest that had had appeared in The Kentucky Post in 1992. Cassidy located the column and then contacted Mrs. Weaver. Their exchange of information and photos have satisfied both that they share the same father. Cassidy and his brother, Edward [sic], plan to come here later this month to meet Mrs. Weaver and other relatives. Mrs. Weaver's mother is deceased, but her sister, Judy, lives in Washington, D.C., where she is executive director of the national League of Women Voters. "Suddenly my Christmas card list has gotten longer," Mrs. Weaver said of her new family. Mostly there is relief in her knowledge, Mrs. Weaver said. But there also is sadness, for her mother, who lost a husband, and for her sister and brother and herself, who as children had no father.
