Joan Webster

MOMMY'S A MOLE Explores Inconsistencies in Murder Case

The discovery of a human skull and then a skeleton in a wooded area in Hamilton, Mass., known for criminal activity changed everything-and nothing-for a family mourning the loss of a beloved daughter, sister, and sister-in-law. Eve Carson, the author of a new book detailing the unresolved mystery surrounding Joan Webster's murder in 1981, claims Joan's family continue to block a legitimate investigation of the case because of family secrets they want kept hidden. The book describes efforts to assassinate Carson's character, use psychological abuse, and drive a wedge between her and her children. According to the author, the Webster family ignored facts in the record, and silenced a member of Joan's immediate family-until now.
