Hey everybody. Welcome to Boston Confidential. This is our third episode and today we're bringing you the case of Katrina Homer, a native of Sweden.

This case happened in 1996 and is considered Boston's premier unsolved mystery.

It is in fact a true who-done it. Just a little background on Katrina Homer. She was 20 years

old and lived in Alleyard, Sweden, a small town.

By all accounts, Katrina was an excellent student and had been bitten by the travel bug.

And she had won a $1,500 prize in some lottery in Sweden.

I don't know if it was a scratch-off ticket or the daily number type of thing.

But she used that money to pay for airfare to the United States.

And in the interim, she set up an employment situation as an au pair.

I'm sorry, a nanny, basically.

And she was placed with a couple in the wealthy enclave of Dover, Massachusetts,

probably the wealthiest enclave in Massachusetts next to Boston itself. It's very pricey, very ritzy. So Katrina

comes over to the United States and is set up with this job in March of 1996. The deal she had

struck with the couple, two artists, one a photographer and one a painter, allowed her to live in Dover, take care of two children at the residence during the week.

But on the weekends, Katrina was given access to a loft on A Street in South Boston. It's in South Boston, but it's in the

fourth point section of the neighborhood, and that's relatively close to downtown, walking

distance by most accounts. It's probably a 15 or 20 minute walk to downtown and back bay.

By most accounts, Katrina's employment was going pretty well with this couple.

The couple's name is Frank Rap.

He was the photographer, and his wife, Susan, Nitcher, N-C-H-T-E-R was an accomplished painter.

By most accounts, Katrina got along pretty well with Frank and Susan, and she simply adored the children, so things were going pretty well.

At least as an outsider looking in, I believe you would have seen a happy R pair and some happy children.
