The startling details
The report revealed startling details. On the night of the murder, Amy took the shotgun to a nearby car dealership and pointed it at two employees in her attempt to steal a car. She could have been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon, and unlawful possession of ammunition, but the statute of limitations for each of these charges already expired. State police were ordered by the governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, to re-evaluate the case and ensure that mistakes committed to handling the 1986 case would not be repeated in the future.
