On October 23, 1989, Charles and Carol Stewart were driving home from a birthing class when they were carjacked in Boston.

Both were shot, and Carol would later die from her injuries.

Charles told police their attacker was a young black man, and that claim set off a massive manhunt, media frenzy and deep divisions across the city.

But the truth about what really happened would shock Boston and force people to confront how quickly perception

overtook facts. It's one of the most infamous true crime cases we haven't covered yet. So if you

want the full story, check out the American Criminal podcast, which digs into how

the media shaped the narrative around the murder of Carol Stewart and everything that followed.
