It’s been almost 17 months since Rebecca Cain passed away and her sisters miss her every day.
Jody Nordwall and Holly Morales explain their sister was a mother on her way to becoming a nurse, but fell into addiction and overdosed in 2021.
“It’s just unfair, it’s very unfair,” Holly Morales.
“She showed me the true meaning of a sister, of a best friend as someone who was always there by my side no matter what,” Jody Nordwall.

John Dylan Screen is now facing federal charges of distribution of a controlled substance resulting in a death in connection to Cain’s overdose death.
Screen is accused of distributing Fentanyl, but what Cain’s sisters didn’t know until the indictment was unsealed days ago is that he is also linked to a second overdose death.
“There’s another family grieving because of him two months after she died another one, where’s the remorse,” Nordwall told Channel 2 Action News.
Screen is one of 76 arrested in ‘Operation Ghost Busted’.
A drug trafficking ring that federal prosecutors say was run in and out of state prison facilities and included white supremacist street gang members.
For Cain’s family, the charges helped dull some of their pain. With this ring now broken up they hope this will save lives and spare other families their pain.
Her sisters are now focused on the son she left behind.
