EP 5 | The Boston Murder Hoax, Carol DiMaiti, Baby Christopher, and Charles Stuart

On the evening of October 23, 1989, Boston was rocked by one of  the most notorious and damaging crimes in the city's history. The murder of Carol DiMaiti Stuart was tragic and shocking. She was 7 1/2 months pregnant with her first baby; she was murdered after leaving a birthing class at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. The case was highly-publicized, emotionally-charged, and sensationalized by Boston media and outlets across the country. The crime was captured on an early version of reality television. It scarred the city for life. The police tore through Boston's neighborhoods looking for a "Black man with a raspy voice wearing a black tracksuit".  The man they were looking for didn't exist. It was all a hoax. Marky Mark even wrote a song about it....
