    Episode 104 - Carol and Christopher Stuart

    05/06/2026 | 39 mins.
    In October 1989 30 year old Carol Stuart was shot and killed in her car in Boston when she was with her husband Charles Stuart. She was seven months pregnant with their first child. Charles or Chuck Stuart was also shot in the stomach and called 911 from his car phone.

    Once first responders reached Carol and Chuck they transported them to hospital. Chuck survived but sadly Carol died later that evening – her baby was delivered by C section weeks premature and baptised Christopher Stuart. Sadly he died 17 days later and both his and Carol’s deaths were treated as murder.

    Chuck told police that a black man car jacked them and shot them both and so ensued a manhunt through the city of Boston with a man called Willie Bennet arrested for the murders of Carol and Christopher. Then Chuck’s brother Matthew blew the case wide open as he told police that it was Chuck who had shot and killed Carol to get her life insurance. Chuck took his own life the next day.

    This is not only a story of a man who killed his family, but a story of deep deception, racism and a psychopath who nearly got away with murder.

    This is the story of Carol and Christopher Stuart.
