The 80’s Yuppie Murder

It was a time of booming industry and new found conservatism. It was this decade where the term “Yuppie” was born. Used to describe college educated and upper middle class young people. And that title could definitely be used to describe Charles and Carol Stuart a young Boston couple. Charles a fur company manager and Carol a lawyer. Everything seemed to be going just right for the Stuarts: good well paying jobs, married, and a baby on the way . However, tragedy would strike and shake the foundation of the Stuart family and Boston. Join us this week as we discuss the Yuppie murder and all the causalities related to this case. https://www.history.com/topics/1980s/1980s# https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/The-Most-Infamous-Serial-Killers-of-The-80s https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/crime-history/the-deadliest-decade-pop-culture-highlights-from-9-totally-80s-crimes https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2014/10/22/the-charles-stuart-murders-and-the-racist-branding-boston-just-cant-seem-to-shake/?amp=1 https://archive.ph/20020704134400/http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/~perspy/old/issues/2000/retro/forgotten_victim.html https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-husband-did-it-the-controversial-stuart-case https://georgepallas.com/blog/2022/01/charles-stuart/ https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/police-lineups-making-eyewitness-identification-more-reliable
