Was It Murder Carrying a Burden of a Crime Not Committed
A dying confession reported from Dayton Ohio sparks questions in Waltham Massachusetts about a murder years earlier. The tale centers on John Goodwin alias John Custer who allegedly killed Patrick McNamee in Waltham and fled west, with relationships to local families, the Cullen tragedy, and a linked assault on McEnaney in Watertown. The piece weighs whether Goodwin's claimed crime matches a real 30 year old Waltham murder and how evidence point toward or away from that conclusion.
