Collier's life story isn't just a tale,
it’s a powerful example of how people can bounce back from tough times.
Collier, His Mom Noreen, & his sister Elizabeth.
His journey, which you can see in the intense documentary “A Murder in Mansfield” by Investigation Discovery, offers hope and shows how someone can change for the better.
Imagine being Collier at just eleven years old, living in Mansfield, Ohio, like any other kid. Then, out of nowhere, his world crashes down. His mom, Noreen, is brutally killed—by none other than his dad, Dr. John F. Boyle, Jr. This shocking betrayal sets the stage for Collier’s tough road ahead.
Even in the face of immense challenges, like testifying against his father in court and dealing with family backlash, Collier stays strong. His success as an author and speaker, featured on big platforms like TED Talks and the Dr. Phil show, proves his resilience.
What Makes him Unique
Despite this dark start, Collier finds ways to cope through art. Music becomes his escape, photography helps him freeze moments in time, but it’s filmmaking that becomes his true passion. Through his camera lens, he turns his pain into a message of hope for others who’ve gone through similar hardships.
Collier’s journey from victim to advocate is a powerful tale of human strength. He doesn’t just dwell on his suffering; he uses it to shed light on the struggles of others. His films aren’t just stories; they’re beacons of support for those who’ve felt alone in their grief.
His commitment to storytelling, seen through his membership in prestigious guilds, shows how dedicated he is to his craft. And amidst all this, his love for dogs and motorcycles keeps him grounded, showing that even in tough times, finding joy in simple things is important.
You’re not alone. I’ve been where you are, and I understand the pain and confusion that can come with surviving a traumatic experience. But there is hope, and there is a way forward.

I was honored to have been interviewed by the BBC about my journey in uncovering the truth behind my mother’s murder.
It was a long and painful process, but I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story and shed light on the importance of seeking justice, overcoming trauma and moving on.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.
