Homicide at Rough Point (Part Two)
In Part One of our two part series on 5 time Emmy winning investigative reporter Peter Lance’s Book, HOMICIDE AT ROUGH POINT, we left off as Mr. Lance was detailing how, back in the fall of 1966, the Newport, Rhode Island police covered up the murder of art curator and designer Eduardo Tirella, whom Doris Duke, crushed to death under the wheels of a two-ton station wagon just minutes after he told the notoriously possessive, billionairess that he was leaving her for a career in Hollywood.
As Peter explained, with little or no investigation,
Newport’s police chief, Joseph Radice, closed the case in 96 hours. Calling it an accident, he went so far as to
create a fabricated transcript of an interrogation of Doris that never took place, that was purportedly conducted by Newport’s Chief of Detective’s Captain Paul Sullivan.
For decades, after starting his career as a cub reporter for The Newport Daily News just eight months after Tirella’s death, Lance was driven to tell the true story and in 2020, after an 8,000 word article in Vanity Fair, he wrote HOMICIDE AT ROUGH POINT, which was published in 4 editions in early 2021 – leading the police to reopen the case.
We begin Part Two as Peter describes an encounter he had with Captain Sullivan when he was covering a case involving the murder of two sailors by a friend and former classmate of his, named Stephen Robertson, whose incredibly story of homicide and redemption serve as bookends to HOMICIDE AT ROUGH POINT.
