Crimes of Camberville: From The Alleys to the Ivies, A History of Crime, Murder, and Mystery

Recorded live at The Burren in Somerville on October 23, we explore a history of crimes rooted in Somerville and Cambridge, cities defined by the intersection of the working class and university elites.

From the side streets to the lecture halls, we talk about the cases that once made headlines, or remain unknown and unresolved.

All should be told, and their names spoken. In this live episode, we walk through developments in the 2009 murder of Charline Rosemond, two cases that rocked Somerville in 1995 - Janet Downing, murdered by a neighbor and family friend, and the still-unsolved case of 17-year-old Deanna Cremin, who was almost home before she was attacked and killed, found the next morning by neighborhood kids. The tragic case of the Dunster House Murder of Trang Phuong Ho on Harvard's campus by her roommate, Sinedu Tadesse, whose mental state had been deteriorating before everyone's eyes, yet no one seemed to notice; and a history of crimes that took place throughout Cambridge dating back to the 1960s:

Beverly Samans (1963), Linda Marshall (1968), Jane Britton (1969), Ada Bean (1969), Carol Peterson (1975), Julie Campbell (1978), and women who simply vanished off the streets of Cambridge and Somerville - Amy B. Sher (2002), Reina Carolina Rojas Morales (2022), and Mitchel Valaudyne Iviquel (2000)
