BEVERLY, Mass. — A convict was indicted Wednesday in the murder of a college student who was found strangled to death more than 35 years ago, officials said.
The body of 20-year-old Claire Gravel was discovered in the woods on June 30, 1986, in Beverly, Massachusetts.
A grand jury indicted 63-year-old John Carey in her death Wednesday morning, Blodgett said. Carey is currently serving a 20-year sentence at a Concord prison after he was convicted in 2008 of attempting to strangle another woman to death in Massachusetts. Evidence recovered from Gravel's clothing"was instrumental in solving this case," Blodgett said, noting that investigators continually review cold cases"hoping that new techniques and a fresh look would result in a breakthrough."
Blodgett said prosecutors have not yet speculated on a motive in Gravel's murder, but said"we feel confident" based on the evidence presented to the grand jury"that we have the right person."
