Death:Death by Homicide 27 August 1994 (Smothered by step-mother, age five) chart Placidus Equal_H.
American homicide victim, killed by his step-mom in 1994, Easthampton, MA. Eric was a hemophiliac, diagnosed soon after birth. His parents, Christine and Steven, divorced but amicably. He lived with his mom and on the weekends, stayed with his dad with whom he played ball, swam, took walks and had good talks. Erics dad, Steven, married Sanda Ann Boutet and they had a baby girl. As Steven was paying child support to Christine, there was financial stress, and Sandra told a girl-friend that she d "get rid of the kid." On Saturday, 8/27/1994, Steven came home in the afternoon to find Sandra tied up in the basement and Eric dead, a pillow over his face. She said intruders had attacked them, an unlikely story for Saturday afternoon in the suburbs when working couples are home and many people are tending their lawns and socializing. There were too many holes in her story, she was arrested after four days and later convicted of the murder of her five-year-old step-son. Read less
