S6 Ep19: "Goodnight, Sweet Wife:" Murder in Mission Hill
About this episode
The episode explores the 1989 murder case involving Chuck and Carol Stuart, highlighting the ensuing police manhunt and its implications.
On the night of Oct. 23, 1989, Chuck Stuart called 911 from a car phone in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood, his voice strained with panic. He said he and his wife Carol had been shot by a Black man. Within hours, Boston police had launched the most intensive manhunt in the city's history — tearing through a predominantly Black neighborhood, stopping and searching anyone who dared answer their door or walk the streets. They were certain they knew what had happened. They were wrong in ways that would take decades to reckon with.
