THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE CHARLES AND CAROL STUART SHOOTING

It only took two words from Chuck, as he lay bleeding on a stretcher in the back of an ambulance: Black. Man.

And all the machinery — the police, the press, the politicians — kicked into gear to do what they always had done.

Find the Black man.

Chuck didn’t pull off his racist hoax alone. He had everyone’s help.

When Chuck jumped and the truth was revealed, a huge swath of Boston was left to reckon with the knowledge that knocked Barbara Williamson to her knees:

That they were exactly who Chuck thought they were.
PART SEVEN ([link removed])

The main suspect might be dead, but this story is far from over.

The long-told narrative – some kind of true-crime catnip – suggests the world was fooled by a master manipulator.

But that’s not the case.

More than 30 years later, Boston Globe investigative reporters dive into the case, unearth secret grand jury files, and obtain never-before-released recordings.

The reporters find a conspiracy that was bigger than anybody knew and uncover evidence that suggests someone else may have pulled the trigger.
