I wonder how long she was alive after she "went missing". This is a truly awful one.

Girlie mags in the woods left by kids were pretty common pre-internet. I don't see a reason to connect them to the crime. One of the most frustrating things about this case is the lack of any sort of meaningful forensic investigation. We can't even say for sure that the blood in the kitchen...

Reprimanded by whom? The now retired Helena Rafferty? I think Melanie Little said he was actually promoted to sergeant after the trial. Whatever is in those "new" Proctor messages must be really bad. *Just editing to add that it looks like Goode was promoted after O'Keefe's murder but before...

Goode was one of the first Canton PD officers on scene. Rather than knock on the door of the strangely silent and dark Albert house, he and Lank - incredibly - told Jen McCabe to go into the house and notify the occupants. There's a dead man on the front lawn; they should have had no idea...

They moved to Lincoln to be close to Martin's new job. I don't think that's ever been in dispute. They'd been there over 6 months. She showed no signs of pregnancy at the time of her disappearance. And there was no DNA testing at the time so Martin wouldn't have known for sure whether any of...

I'm not sure why Joan would have necessarily wanted to bring Lillian across the street just because the baby was crying or ready to wake up, but I suppose it's possible she wanted the kids out of her hair. It's just odd to me that she didn't mention anything to the neighbor about bringing the...

As her daughter was not too far from turning five, she was probably old enough accurately report what she saw or didn't see. She didn't see a visitor. So we can probably assume she was hustled across the street before Joan's "visitor" arrived. Joan didn't even give a heads up to the neighbor...

That's kind of the way things were for many women of that pre-Pill era, although I doubt she would have been shocked to find herself pregnant again. You were married, you had babies. I do think Martin knew more about Joan he didn't say. I also believe there was something very wrong in Joan's...

It is. Only a couple of states have statutes of limitations longer than 3 years for these types of cases and MA isn't one of them. Here's the MA law that applies. https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIII/TitleII/Chapter229/Section2

They couldn't wait to file until after the second trial. The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is 3 years. JO died in January of 2022 and the second trial ended in June of this year. The point about expenses is an important one. The science is not in Paul O'Keefe's favor. The...

Wouldn't even shock me much if the Canton PD took her back. I mean, she's a Canton girl after all. And they do love their townies.

Here's a fun story. Lawtuber Melanie Little said on her show that she ran into Laura McLaughlin, the third prosecutor on the case on a ferry to Block Island and they chatted about the trial. According to McLaughlin, during the second trial she and Lally weren't allowed to speak to Brennan unless...

I'd sell it too. As for the license, I don't think it's too difficult to get a hardship license on a first offense.

"And while you're at it, put that taillight back the way you found it! Small crack only will be acceptable."

Yes, that's basically what she said. Lally probably lost the keys.

I think you mean can she do a "weird Fall River accent"? Michael Proctor did not approve.

And possibly yet another conflict as Morrissey was "the founding and managing partner of Boyle, Morrissey & Campo, P.C" before Campo left to become a judge. https://www.mass.gov/person/michael-w-morrissey-norfolk-county-district-attorney

Those little change purses were very, very common. It's evidence of nothing. (and I think the Beaumonts' mother reported it as white and the one allegedly seen in his house 40 years later was beige.)

He used high tech government equipment for personal reasons. It's illegal, but even if charges aren't ever brought it's clearly grounds for termination. Working for a government agency doesn't give you the right to waltz into headquarters and use their assets for person gain of any sort. There...

But even if he did molest one son, there is still no actual evidence that he kidnapped and killed the Beaumont kids. Mullins' theory that the kids' swim suits were the same colors as his favourite satin gowns is laughable. I know people like to imagine these days that back then kids were never...
