🕒 Case Lineup – 5 Chilling Massachusetts True Crime Stories
🔹 Beryl Marguerite Atherton — A beloved fifth-grade teacher is last seen during a brutal nor’easter, going about her normal evening routine before something, or someone, slips into her kitchen. When she’s found two days later, the scene raises more questions than answers, including a bizarrely staged knife left beside her. Seventy-five years later, investigators still disagree on what the killer really did inside that house.
🔹 Breanne Alece “Breezy” Pennington — A devoted young mother is found dead in her bedroom while her four children seek help next door. Her husband, struggling with mental health issues and acting erratically in the days before, vanishes into the woods moments after the killing, leaving behind only a chilling digital message. Despite an intensive multi-agency manhunt, he has never resurfaced.
🔹 Henry Bedard Jr. — A hardworking 15-year-old leaves school after dropping off Christmas gifts, walks toward a wooded path, and disappears. The next day, two boys make a horrific discovery in the leaves near a popular teen hangout. A carved baseball bat, partial fingerprints, and decades of forensic testing point in many directions, but none have solved the mystery of who killed Henry.
🔹 Sabrina Lee Hatheway — After years of trauma, unstable relationships, and trying to rebuild her life, a 23-year-old woman leaves home with someone she trusts, and is never seen again. Days later, a house connected to the case goes up in flames under highly suspicious circumstances. With key witnesses missing, dead, or unreliable, her disappearance remains one of Worcester’s most frustrating cold cases.
🔹 Simone Stephanie Ridinger — A free-spirited 17-year-old plans to hitchhike to Cape Cod for Labor Day weekend, something she had done before, but this time, she never arrives. Nearly ten years later, an elderly witness reveals a startling new piece of the timeline, placing Simone miles away from where anyone expected. Further revelations suggest she may have crossed paths with a violent predator whose crimes were only fully uncovered decades later.
