THIS STORY:
A still unsolved 1947 case from Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Rita Bouchard was found dead in Slater Park with many slash marks and stab wounds. Her throat was practically cut ear to ear, in similar fashion to the infamous Black Dahlia story in California.
Rita was murdered on the very spot we walk to in the woods - and the tree still shows the hatchet marks from the killer.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

SPOILER KNOCK DOWN - Some here have commented that those hatchet marks would be much higher as the tree grew over the past 70 years. NOT TRUE. When a tree is mature (that one is up to 200 years old now) the base of the trunk does not change in height. Under the bark is a thin layer of cells that cause the tree to increase in girth, so it does continue to grow "from the bottom," though not in height. As an example, if a rubber band is wrapped around the trunk of a mature tree, the band will not move upward over time: It will stretch outward. I actually know this from personal experience - I went to the big oak tree in my old neighborhood 2 years ago. It was in the 1960's when we carved steps into the trunk of a certain big oak tree for a treehouse. Today one can still see the scars, over 50 years later now. And they didn't rise up at all.

@gigicostlow4414 2 года назад

This is true Ron. Trees grow up from the top. The same cells that cause this also cause limbs to grow longer. There's old trees here that my great grandfather nailed a barbed wired fence on. You can still see pieces of the barbed wire sticking out where the tree grew over it. The wire is still at the same height as the fence was many years ago.

@thecutecat2561 2 года назад

I'm just letting you know from an RN and yes true crime nut, but this was taught in school. A slit from the mouth going up like the Joker is known as a Glascows smile, that is what the Black Dahlia had done to her sadly. Being slit ear to ear is usually referring to the neck from one earlobe to the next not upon the face.

@carolrado1982 2 года назад

I would want her hidden if she were my daughter bc they never arrested the guy who slaughtered her and you would feel she was all alone in the cemetery and vulnerable to him digging her up or defacing her grave, that's why in my mother's mind.

@hollyb.3615 2 года назад

Yes, it could have been protective on her mother's part . I'm glad Ron decided he would leave the rose at her gravesite.

@lorrainegrey9120 Год назад

The family obviously didn't have much money and buying life insurance on a young person wasn't too common then.. Are the parents buried next to her? After so many decades have passed, it should seem safe to put a flat stone there (most of that section has them anyway) If the parents ARE there, of course there ought to be a stone with space for all the names and dates. What also happens, there may already be a marker (or markers) just under the turf. Too many of that kind of markers get buried without at least yearly clean-up (we have to do this for family members with flat ones.)

There are so many cold cases in RI that they've made a deck of cards w the victims cases on them to help drum up any leads. There is another case of a man killing his 5yo daughter on the same path not far from that location.

@NickPenlee 2 года назад

@@FacesoftheForgotten Oh I agree about wanting to put a name to her killer.. But my opening remark still holds true; that they're going to find it near impossible to assemble enough evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, to charge anyone after 75 years. They've got the murder weapon and a decent suspect. OK, now what?

A stiletto knife would not make those marks on the tree today, however 80 years ago that tree was much smaller and younger. The wound was surely not as big then as it is today as the tree has attempted to heal itself around the marks.

It’s always sad when someone loses their life through the deliberate actions of someone else, but it’s even more poignant when it’s a very young person. Their life is snuffed out before they’ve even had a chance to live. Prayers that her killer is found. Even if they are dead and no charges can be brought, I’m sure the family would still like to know who perpetrated this terrible crime.

@hh7407 2 года назад

God bless her and her family. So sad. Since the marks were there so long ago on the tree, it could be the murderer was hitting the tree with a hatchet to work up their anger or work out their anger...practicing on the tree and they could have planned to have that be the spot where they brought the victim's body. A place they frequented. The murderer probably watched people in the park until they found a potential victim who was alone in solitude and was an easy target. Maybe it wasn't that they focused on Rita but she happened to be alone and they saw an opportunity to kill. That would make solving the crime harder...it could have just been the murderer found someone alone and killed her...and it happened to be Rita. I pray there is some DNA they can find that isn't hers and match it up through the DNA Matching. Likely the murderer is dead but family members' DNA will likely lead to who the killer was.
