Deadly Greed: The Riveting True Story of the Stuart Murder Case

On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, an affluent Boston businessman, called 911 to report that he and his seven-months-pregnant wife Carol, a lawyer, had been robbed and shot by a black male in the Mission Hill neighborhood. Carol died from her injuries, and the baby was lost shortly after. The attack sparked significant concern during a period of heightened racial tension in the community. However, Stuart's account was false. He was Carol's killer. Police subsequently arrested Willie Bennett, a young man Stuart identified in a lineup. The deception unraveled following a revelation from Stuart's brother and ultimately his suicide, when he jumped into the Mystic River. Investigation revealed a pattern involving Stuart's distress over his wife's pregnancy, his romantic involvement with a coworker, and life insurance fraud.
