Over 130 murders were committed in Boston in 1974 with one day in mid January seeing three slayings in less than 16 hours. The year didn’t end much differently with two men being shot five minutes apart. We're highlighting many of those hits and a few others outside of the state, including Joe Schiavone in Rhode Island.
Next week's episode will be dedicated to the Lady of the Dunes, and the following week will be The Hit Parade of 1975.
