Inside the vehicle, authorities discovered the burned body of a man. He was later identified as James Cassidy, a resident of Brookline, Massachusetts.
Investigators determined that the vehicle fire was caused by arson. But the circumstances surrounding Cassidyβs death remain a haunting part of this decades-old case. π
π€ WHO WAS JAMES CASSIDY?
