From the Archives: An ultimate betrayal in Boston
The Stuart case remains, as the Herald first reported, “A Terrible night!”
But not just for the murder of a pregnant Carol DiMaiti Stuart by her husband, Charles “Chuck” Stuart, but for his evil scheme to blame it all on a random black man.
Boston was still healing from the busing crisis and this killer husband preyed on that racial unrest all to move on from his wife and collect her $82,000 life insurance policy.
HBO is airing a series on the case — “Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning” — where the Herald is shown for our coverage and pivot to the story of a murderous husband and a city needing to heal all over again.
Here are clips from the 1989 slaying and fallout:
