MA - Anthony Cecere, 25, unsolved murder, Cambridge, 24 June 1989

[The_Ancient_Port_Operator]

Anthony, 25, was found murdered on June 24, 1989 in Cambridge, MA. There have been no convictions in this case, nor have there been any arrests. The Boston Globe published the story on June 25, 1989 and then published the obit on June 27, 1989. I'm not aware of any developments since then.

Sadly, Anthony had a younger brother; David M. David, 13, was murdered on May 2, 1979. A suspect was arrested, charged and convicted of First Degree Murder.

I have no information to suggest that there is any connection between the murders.

There are additional theories to consider and to eliminate. In 1989, Cambridge experienced a 20-year (1985-2004) high in Robberies. This includes robbery by an acquaintance and predatory. What could have started as a robbery by someone he knew, or just a robbery of opportunity, could have ended in Murder. Also, aggravated assault greatly increased after 1989. This could have been a fight with persons known or unknown to Anthony which resulted in his murder.
