Speaking of the woman who went bonkers, it is apparent she was bonkers as far back as 1986 when she killed her brother in Braintree, Massachusetts.
With these killings this old case has come to the forefront.
On the day she killed her brother, actually within a few minutes of killing her brother she fired the shotgun through her bedroom door. Her mother and brother were in the house at the time. Her mother said she did not hear the first shotgun blast because their house was very well insulated. After putting a hole in her door she supposedly went down stairs to ask her brother how to load a shotgun. But instead she blasted a hole in his chest killing him. One Braintree Police officer said there was another shotgun hole in the ceiling that was ignored. Three blasts.
She then went to a Ford Dealership brandishing the shotgun and asking for a car to get away from an abusive husband, although she was not married at the time. The Car Salesman said he would get her a car and was showing her the models on the showroom floor while others at the dealership called the Police. She was apprehended there.
Her mother was a Massachusetts State Worker...a big shot. The Braintree Police Chief at the time stopped the investigation fairly quickly and District Atty James Delahunt refused to press charges.
Delahunt is now Democrat Congressman Delahunt representing Massachusetts in Washington.
The current Braintree Police Chief on reviewing the case says he does not want to say the word but... as he said... "the word coverup comes to mind."
I understand the file on the case has been lost.
