In March 1995, 17-year-old Deanna Cremin was attacked and killed in Somerville, Massachusetts, while on her way home from her boyfriend’s house. To this day, her shocking murder remains unsolved.
On March 30, 1995, two children on their way to school found Deanna’s body behind a housing complex, Boston.com reported. Her cause of death was strangulation.
According to Boston 25 News, Deanna’s then-boyfriend, Thomas Leblanc, told Deanna’s mother, Katherine Cremin, that he took her halfway home the night she was killed.
“I just want the person who killed my daughter to know: May every skin cell on your body crawl, every hair on the back of your neck stand on end, because we stand very close behind you,” Katherine told WCVB in 2015.
No suspects were ever arrested in connection with Deanna’s murder.
“The biggest things in her life were yet to happen,” Katherine told WCVB. “I can’t believe she’s been dead longer than she’s been alive.”
