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.

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 a bit of housekeeping stuff as we usually do at the outset of each show. We got a

it rose to the level of insanity. I think he planned this attack, and I think he planned to

bullied. But, man, again, my real point in that episode was

James Allison, the victim in this case, is just totally forgotten and just breaks my heart

in a million pieces. I look at that kid, Alinson, and I see my son. And actually with Ogden, too,

you know, they're both the same age or close to it within a year.

And, man, like, that was a homicide, no doubt.

It was also a robbery.

Ogden robbed that family, the Allison family of a lifetime with their son.
