Hi Crime Junkies, Britt here, and today we're hitting our last stop on the East Coast, Boston, Massachusetts. Boston is a city known for many things, but as Crime Junkies know that back in 1996, it was the newly found home to an au pair from Sweden that was looking to explore her dreams in the United States. She was supposed to have her whole life ahead of her, but instead never got the chance.
We all still had so many questions back in 2018 when we first told you the story, and I wish we had more answers today. But we're resharing this case as a reminder to all you crime junkies, if you have a secret, for the love of God, tell someone, anyone, because you never know what might happen next.
Hi, everyone, and welcome back to Crime Junkie. I am your host, Ashley, as always joined by Britt. Hi, everyone. And this week, I'm super excited. I have a story that I had never even heard about before I started researching. I'm super excited to tell you junkies about it. But first, me and Britt want to tell you a little bit about one of our favorite nonprofits.
This episode of Crime Junkie is brought to you by Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana.
So you're saying that Crime Stoppers just takes the tips and helps make arrests?
No, they don't actually do any of the arresting. All Crime Stoppers does is they're responsible for taking the tip, keeping the tipster anonymous, and then giving that information to police, and police do all the arresting.
So you're saying Crime Stoppers wants just the tip?
I don't even know how to follow that up. But yes, Crime Stoppers is only responsible for taking the tips, and their number one goal is making sure that the tipsters remain anonymous. As of early 2018, Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana is responsible for clearing over 7,000 cases because of their tips.
I encourage you to get involved with your local Crime Stoppers, and if you want more information on Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana, go to crimetips.org. So, Britt, I am super excited because I think I might have found a case that you have never heard about.
