Before we get to 19 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.280 all of our topics in this hour, Laurie from Idaho 20 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.479 brings us Robins that she has baby Robbin's the Mama 21 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.000 Robin built the NESK on one of her deck lamps, 22 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.640 and not to be outdone, got a great video from 23 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.239 Owne Hamilton up in Alaska, by way of her sister 24 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.040 Rosemary I think who lives in West Roxbury of a moose, 25 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.519 I mean a big moose kind of strolling through her backyard. 26 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.120 Just show you that living in Alaska is a little 27 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.079 bit different than living in West Roxbury. This was a 28 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.840 big moose, very gentle, very polite, no problem whatsoever. All right, 29 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.840 let's get to business. One of my favorite eight PM 30 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.480 guests I think all of you know, is my friend 31 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.359 Emily Sweeney of the Boston Globe. She does the Cold 32 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:42.000 Case File, which is a great, great service in my opinion. Emily, 33 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.599 welcome back to Night's side. 34 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:44.280 How are you tonight? 35 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.799 Excellent? Dan, thank you so much for having me. I 36 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:48.599 appreciate it. 37 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.719 How many of these cold cases have you been working on? 38 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.560 I mean, this is not the first one we've done, 39 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.599 and we haven't done all of them. How let's first 40 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.719 of all, have people get an opportunity. How do they 41 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.439 find the cold Case file on the Globe website? 42 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.040 Yeah? So, Well, if you do a Google search Cold 43 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.919 Case Files Boston Globe, the landing page pops up and 44 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.240 you can see all the past stories there. We also 45 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.639 have a newsletter you can sign up to receive it, 46 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.719 and it's Globe dot com slash Cold case files perfect 47 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.000 and yeah, yeah. 48 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:31.080 Pretty straightforward. So the one that we're highlighting tonight goes 49 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.919 back to nineteen seventy three, So we're talking forty Do 50 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.000 the math for me here, that's got to be twenty 51 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.120 seven plus twenty four. That's we're talking fifty one fifty 52 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:43.919 two years now. 53 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.360 Yeah, yeah, over fifty years, yeahty years. 54 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.039 And set the stage. 55 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.599 This is a nice day in June fifth of nineteen 56 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.680 seventy three, and a woman who was thirty two at 57 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.439 the time, Mareen Monahan, took her four year old daughter 58 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.280 of a couple of errands and as you're right, they 59 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.039 never returned. 60 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:04.360 Set the stage for. 61 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.800 Us, and tell us what people might be able to 62 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:08.919 do to help you. 63 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.280 Yeah, yeah, Dan So, So June fifth, nineteen seventy three, 64 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.120 it's a Tuesday. Marie moynihan. She's a thirty two year 65 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.439 old mother of two young kids. She got her kids 66 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.800 in the car. She dropped off her six year old 67 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.840 son at his afternoon kindergarten class in West Boylston. So 68 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.000 this is out in central mass Yeah, yeah, yep, exactly. 69 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.520 And then she and her four year old daughter, Jennifer, 70 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.840 went to do some shopping, you know, while he was 71 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.680 at school. But what it's unknown really what happened from 72 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.120 there after she dropped you know, their son off. So 73 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.759 she goes missing and so does Jennifer. They never come 74 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.960 home and you know, her husband reports them missing. And 75 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.639 the plan was they you know, she had older husband 76 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.240 that she was going to go shopping at like this 77 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:07.080 apartment store called Mammoth Mott. It was in Worcester, and 78 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.199 she never It's not clear she ever made it there 79 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.879 because the next day her car and was found in 80 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.240 Rutland State Park in a wooded area, and her and 81 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.439 a four year old daughter had been stabbed to death. 82 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.720 It's a very horrific, horrific murder. 83 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.439 Their bodies were found. Okay, one question than I have. Rutland, 84 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.439 Massachusetts is que you know, Massachusetts not a big state geographically, 85 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.439 but that's a pretty good distance from from the Worcester area. 86 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.879 Yeah. Yeah. And and what's strange too, is because the 87 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.319 direction of where she was going to would have been 88 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.800 going to to go to the store. This is what 89 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.959 was like in an opposite direction. And you know, the 90 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.120 bodies were found by two young guys who were driving 91 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.399 along a dirt road off of one two A in Rutland. 92 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.000 And that's where they made them all long How. 93 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.519 Long after the day that she disappeared were the bodies found? 94 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.639 This is the next day, Yeah, it is the next day. 95 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.199 And so of course in those days, even if she 96 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.040 went to the Mammoth Mart, there probably was no video 97 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.120 cam which would have showed her walking in the door. 98 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:24.560 I don't know. 99 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.160 Did most of those stores in those days have video cams? 100 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.839 I don't recall, to be honest with you, but. 101 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:30.639 I'm sure, yeah. 102 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.000 I mean, you know, it's nothing like it how it 103 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.079 is today. I mean, you know, that's the thing that 104 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.800 you know, no smartphones, not as much you know, security 105 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.279 video camera footage, which is like kind of everywhere today. 106 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.240 You know, I. 107 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.079 Assume that the that the police, uh did all the 108 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.319 things they had to do in terms of dusting for 109 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.959 frink of prints and looking for you know, the conditions 110 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.439 of the bodies, whether there was any extraneous DNA. 111 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:00.720 There was nothing to go on. 112 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.920 No blood actually samples that were inconsistent with the mom 113 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.759 It's not as if the person who did this or 114 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.279 person's cut themselves. No blood samples, no weather. 115 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.720 They were able to get some DNA from the scene 116 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.680 and that was preserved. And this there is like this 117 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.399 could be a key to solving this. Back in two 118 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.879 thousand and six, the evidence was sent for DNA testing 119 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.120 and it's unknown, you know, what kind of results came 120 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.519 out of that, but you know that I'm not sure 121 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.560 if it was tested again. But in twenty fifteen, authorities 122 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.120 exhumed a body from Fairview Cemetery in hyde Pack because 123 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.040 they were hoping that it was a match to identify 124 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.120 the killer. This would have been like a relative of 125 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.959 the killer. It's unclear whether that led anywhere. It probably didn't. 126 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.879 I called the DA's office and you know, they couldn't comment. 127 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.680 But obviously that was ten years ago, but there is 128 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.800 evidence there was DNA that was tested, So that is 129 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.759 a hope. And you know, and obviously if anybody knows anything, 130 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.199 I know a lot of time has passed, but you 131 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.439 never know. It's you know, I was giving a talk 132 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.279 at the Writing Public Library the other night, and I like, 133 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.360 you know, I always tell everybody it's so important to 134 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.560 get the word out about these cases because just from 135 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.319 the stories I've written, I know that tips have come 136 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.959 in to authorities as a result of the stories. 137 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.040 Well, I'll tell you what what I'd love to do 138 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.519 with you. I'll have you on every other week. I'll 139 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.279 have you on every week. If this would be helpful 140 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.199 to you, I would love that. 141 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.399 You got it. That's a deal. 142 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.000 I'll tell Marita on Monday that that we're going to 143 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.079 do that. Okay, we'll work as a as a junior 144 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.399 partner to you on this and because if we can 145 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.480 help you solve one of these, it'll be well worth it. 146 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.040 So let me ask you this what became of her husband, 147 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.439 Gerald Mornihan, and what became of the six year old son? 148 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:56.319 Know what? 149 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.360 You know this obviously the family is and you know 150 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.120 I was not able to interview them when I wrote 151 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.360 the story. But I plan on doing a follow up story, Dan, 152 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.120 because a source recently gave me some of the case 153 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.879 files from the investigation. That so I may be doing 154 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.680 a follow up story and I am going to try 155 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.360 to reach out to the soun Okay, you know he 156 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:23.279 he's willing to talk. 157 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.079 Yeah, the dad Again, this is over fifty years old. 158 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.600 Whether or not Gerald one hand is still alive, you 159 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:34.519 don't know the fact that they were, you know, pulling 160 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:40.240 a DNA and testing it on another corpse. That would 161 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.480 indicate to me that he never was a suspect in 162 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.399 the case. And the six year old son, now he's 163 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.279 got to be in his late fifties. You would think that, yeah, again, 164 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.440 not being putting yourself in the shoes of these people. 165 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.240 They I'm sure would love to have it solved that 166 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.879 she just met with some maniac. And you just think 167 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.879 that whoever did this, they may have taken this to 168 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.120 their grave. How do you do that? I mean, you 169 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.720 would think that on the deathbed, if they were fortunate 170 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.639 enough to lie and to die in a deathbed, that 171 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.200 that one of them, trying to get right with the hereafter, 172 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.879 might say, hey, I just got to clear my mind, 173 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.840 got to clear my soul. 174 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:19.399 Uh. 175 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.360 This is great, great work, Emily.

Dennis, my pleasure. 226 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:51.679 Well you're the best. You're the best. 227 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.320 Between you and Emily Sweeney from the Globe, two of 228 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.240 my favorite people. So I know I'm in good shape, 229 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.679 at least for most of most of the eight o'clock hour. 230 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.679 So that's so kind and in good company. I respect 231 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.639 her tremendously. 232 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.399 That's great work. That's great work. Okay, so you're warning folks. 233 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.200 I think everybody knows that by May seventh, a lot 234 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.360 of people would like to have their real ID driver's 235 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:19.639 licenses so that they don't have to go through the 236 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.799 inconvenience of carrying the passport with them if they want 237 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.200 to fly on a plane here in America, or if 238 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:31.120 they want to go into a federal building. What is 239 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.039 the scam and how's this? What should people be watching 240 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:35.799 out for sure? 241 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.360 So there's a critical point to remember. Getting your real 242 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.240 idea is an in person process at your local department 243 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.240 and motor vehicles. So while some states might let you 244 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:49.879 start the paperwork online, like Massachusetts, the final step requires 245 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.600 a visit in person. And this is where our first 246 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.440 tip comes in. You want to be extremely wary of 247 00:12:55.480 --> 00:13:00.360 any website claiming to offer real IDs without any in 248 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.159 person DM visit. They are certainly a fake website and 249 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.559 it is a scam. So do not enter any of 250 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:11.440 your personal information on sites and please report them immediately 251 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.799 to us at the bub Scam Track or so we 252 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.919 can alert others. 253 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.519 These scammers are just persistent. 254 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.039 They don't give up. I mean, if they applied to 255 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:27.200 a legitimate job or a legitimate profession all of the 256 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:31.080 effort that they apply to scamming people, that'd be huge successes. 257 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:34.600 We have any idea where these are coming out of, 258 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.279 these homegrown scammers or were we back talking about some 259 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.600 of the Eastern European type scammers. 260 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.399 No, I do not know where they are coming out of, 261 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.279 to be honest with you, and thankfully, locally, we have 262 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.759 yet to have a report of this scam and I 263 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.840 want to keep it that way.

You're a professor 377 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.839 of pediatrics and population health at NYU New York Universities, 378 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.680 one of the great universities in this country, at the 379 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.680 Grossman School of Medicine. And I guess we're going to 380 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.240 talk about some new study or new analysis of a 381 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:54.480 population study that shows daily exposure to certain chemicals used 382 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:58.359 to make plastic household items can be linked to heart disease. 383 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:02.039 I've heard about linkage to cancers. Now we're talking about 384 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.559 heart disease. What's going on? 385 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.240 Well, you know, when we think of heart disease, we're 386 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.359 usually thinking of diet, physical activity, things like smoking. But 387 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.839 there's a new risk factor on the radar, and that's plastics. 388 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:20.079 Plastics are really not the future to borrow a phrase 389 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.799 from The Graduates. Some of your listeners might remember that movie, 390 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:30.480 but yep, indeed. So what we know about plastics is 391 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.920 that they can leach chemicals that can hack our normal 392 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:41.279 signaling molecules or hormones that underlie basic biological functions like temperature, metabolism, salt, sugar, 393 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.200 and even sex. And they've been associated with obesity and diabetes, 394 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:50.359 which are major risk factors for heart disease. They can 395 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.839 also contribute to inflammation in our coroner arteries. Not a 396 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.119 good thing. If you've got some plaque there, you get 397 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.440 some clot in the arteries and that can contribute to 398 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.359 heart attack and strokes and what have you. Palates also 399 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:09.440 exist with another hot topic these days, microplastics and nanoplastics, 400 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:14.440 little particles that can be wrecking balls in tissues. And 401 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.319
