Take a trip back in time this week on True Crime New England as Katie and Liz discuss the story of “The Gentleman Burglar.” In the late 1800s, small town Chester, Vermont was terrorized by sixteen years of random and heinous robberies in both local stores and local homes. The townspeople were furious and frightened, but luckily they had a hardworking public figure to help them solve the mystery. Clarence Adams, a once state legislator and highly respected member of the town, helped approve security plans, hire detectives, and even kicked in some of his own personal money as a part of the reward. His efforts were highly respected until one night in July of 1902, an incident that left Clarence injured had all signs pointing to HIM as the main suspect for the string of robberies. Tune in to hear the timeline and the details of the terrified town as they navigate the heightened level of crime in this historical whodunnit case.
