Episode 158: The Murder of Carol DiMaiti

True Crime New England

On this week’s episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz discuss the details of the twisted story of the murder of Carol DiMaiti. On October 23rd, 1989, Carol (nee DiMaiti) and Charles Stuart had just left a childbirthing class in Boston, Massachusetts when they were supposedly robbed at gunpoint by a black man with a raspy voice. Carol was shot in the head and Charles was shot in the stomach. Unfortunately, Carol died from her injuries several hours later, and her baby named Christopher died 17 days later. Charles survived, living to tell the tale of being held-up by a black man, and the police response increased racial tensions across the city of Boston. It wasn’t until his brother stepped forward two months later and told police what really happened that night, that the finger is pointed at Charles himself.
