In 1972 the body of 16-year-old Charles Flanagan, who worked for Melvin Reine, was found floating in a pond near the cranberry bog across the street from the Reine compound. He had been shot once in the head and once in the back. Flanagan reportedly had had a crush on Shirley Souza (Melvin's second wife who was also murdered years later). Melvin Reine was the last person to see him alive.
A few years later, a 17-year-old named Paul Alwardt vanished the night before he was scheduled to testify against Reine in an arson case. A Falmouth police officer had put Alwardt on the ferry bound for Martha's Vineyard, but the young man never arrived. His body has never been found.
Here is a chapter of a book about Charles´murder: When Evil Rules
