Timothy M. Burke successfully prosecuted more than twenty-five murder cases and more than fifty major felonies while assigned to the Homicide Unit of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office, including heading an investigation into the activities of mobster Whitey Bulger, currently number two on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. In his book, The Paradiso Files: On the Trail of Boston’s Unknown Serial Killer, he presents his case against one Leonard Paradiso. Lenny “The Quahog” was convicted of assaulting one young woman and paroled after three years, but Burke believes that he was guilty of much more – that Paradiso was a serial killer who operated in the Boston area, and maybe farther afield, for nearly fifteen years, assaulting countless young women and responsible for the deaths of as many as seven. Burke takes the reader inside the minds of prosecutors, police investigators, and one very dangerous man who thought he had figured out how to rape and murder and get away with it. ?The Paradiso Files generated headlines when first published in February 2008. Nine days later, Paradiso died at the age of sixty-five without commenting on any of Burke’s accusations, including that he murdered Joan Webster, a Harvard graduate student who disappeared from Logan Airport in 1981. Boston-area prosecutors announced in September 2008 that Burke’s revelations had led them to reopen the unsolved murder cases of three young women – Melodie Stankiewicz, Holly Davidson, and Kathy Williams. Eve Carson is the sister-in-law of the late Joan Webster and an eloquent victims’ right advocate. In this compelling interview, she rebuts the theory presented in The Paradiso Files, arguing that Timothy Burke does not support the conclusions drawn in his book. Stating this is still an open murder investigation, Eve believes it is beneficial for people to learn the facts and circumstances in this case and not gloss over the alleged inconsistencies in The Paradiso Files. Eve also makes her case with references to the Boston criminal justice system and reveals potential red flags in The Paradiso Files. Dedicated and intelligent, Eve continues to be a voice for Joan Webster. Roger Clark is the founding member and managing partner of Clark, Goldberg & Madruga www.clarkgoldberg.com.
