Hello, Love Letters listeners. We have a new season

0:02

of the show coming up next Tuesday, and I

0:04

cannot wait for you to hear these stories that

0:06

are all about help. In the

0:09

meantime, though, I would love to introduce you to

0:11

another podcast in the Boston Globe family. It's

0:14

called Murder in Boston, and it comes

0:16

from some of the Globe's incredible investigative

0:18

reporters. The podcast is presented

0:20

by the Boston Globe and HBO documentary

0:22

films. It tells an unbelievable

0:25

story that you might have heard about before,

0:27

but probably don't know all the details. One

0:30

of the most notorious stories in the city's

0:32

history took place more than three decades ago

0:35

when a white man named Charles Stewart and

0:37

his pregnant wife Carol were shot on their

0:39

way home from a birthing class. It

0:41

was a crime that tore the city apart. My

0:44

colleague, Adrian Walker, was a cub

0:46

reporter when it happened, and it's haunted

0:48

him ever since. He hosts

0:51

this awesome, serialized investigative podcast.

0:54

This is for people who like crime

0:56

and murder podcasts, who like podcasts about

0:58

history, who like to learn, who love

1:00

smart narrators. I'll play you the

1:02

trailer now, and I'll be back in just a few days

1:05

with new love letters episodes. See

1:07

you soon. Boston recorded emergency, 5-1-0. My

1:09

wife's been shot. I've been shot. One

1:13

of the most sensational stories in Boston's history

1:15

began with a call to 9-1-1. Where

1:17

is this, sir? Shock

1:20

and Carol Stewart are in their car, bleeding

1:22

from gunshot wounds. OK, has your wife been

1:24

shot as well? Yes. In

1:27

the head. She's seven months pregnant.

1:29

Yes, sir, bear with me now. Stand by,

1:31

stand and follow me. Moments ago, they were

1:33

at a birthing class, and now they're victims

1:35

of a crime that launches a massive man

1:38

for a black man in a tracksuit

1:40

and captures the attention of the nation.

1:42

Tell her, brothers, get off the

1:44

street, because your life is in

1:46

danger. Life switched just that fast. Now the

1:48

chase is on. Who did it? Race,

1:51

class, crime, and punishment. The city's raw

1:53

nerves were exposed. You can't make this

1:55

shit up. Oh, but they did make

1:58

it up. This is a true. Story:

2:00

My name is Adrian Water. I'm a

2:02

columnist and associate editor at Boston Globe

2:04

and I helped cover this class Back

2:06

and Eighty Nine. But it

2:09

always haunted. And so for two

2:11

years I've been working with a

2:13

team of globe reporters and we've

2:16

been reexamining the case, speaking to

2:18

hundreds of people and unearthing new
