Welcome to Boston Confidential, Bean Towns True Crime Podcast.

Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.

There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour

of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.

Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential.

My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host.

I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston,

and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence

Investigations. If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact

me at Impact. If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person

or agency. Just some housekeeping stuff as we usually do at the beginning of each episode. We had a

tremendous response from our last episode on the Thomas Mortimer case. Man, that was a tough one

to get through. And I hate even naming it the Thomas Mortimer case because he's such a

Esperd, right?

But my God, Winchester, Massachusetts will never be the same after this guy.

And there's just really no explanations.

Most glaring thing for me in this case is how little his sentence fits with what he did. He cut the throats of his own children.

He beat his own wife, unrecognizable with a frying pant, then stabbed her in the face,

neck, and torso with a knife more than 60 times. His mother-in-law tries to escape out the front door,

and she does guys. Not good enough for Thomas Mortimer. No, he's not done. He goes back out,

grabs her by the hair, and drags her into the family room, and brutally murders her as well. All the while his four-year-old

boy, Finn, is watching it all, the fate of his own mother and his loving grandmother. Imagine that.
