Revisiting the story of Beth Brodie, Crime of the Hometown Kind, Groveland, Massachusetts, with Beth's brother, Sean Aylward. First released on May 5, 2021.
Sean, Beth's brother, and I plan a follow-up to get the status of her case this week.
Expect episode 62 soon.

Her killer is up for parole! CALL TO ACTION below....
I first shared her story in the spring of 2021. I am from the small town of Groveland, Massachusetts, went to the same schools as Beth did, and what happened to her has stayed with me. I think of her ever single time I drive through my old hometown, about her family that remained in the same neighborhood where Beth was killed, and how they have to drive by the house where she took her last breath on November 18, 1992 when she was just 15 years old.
This is more than about retelling the tragic events of that day, it is about the painfully intimate journey of heartbreak for a family navigating the brutality that took Beth from them. The emotional weight of juvenile sentencing laws that shift with time, and the Brodie family's advocacy efforts as they again face the potential parole of Beth's killer.
Beth's killer, 16-years-old at the time of her murder, is seeking parole with a hearing scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2024. Once again, Beth's entire family is facing the prospect of this man being released. It is retraumatizing to a family who has had to live with the reality of their child being violently taken from them.
Your help is needed! Call to action:

• Letter writing campaign: to the parole board, to Governor Healey, letters to the Editor of local publications
  
• Support and follow Justice for Beth Brodie #justiceforbethbrodie
  
• Share posts about the upcoming parole hearing of Beth's murderer.
