For more than four decades, Evelyn McCabe wondered who killed her son, John. He was 15 years, six months and two weeks old when she let him attend a Knights of Columbus Dance. He never made it to 15 years, six months, two weeks and one day old. After the dance, John was murdered.
Richard Schlesinger and 48 HOURS investigate the murder of John McCabe and his family’s more than 40 year quest to find out what really happened to their son in “The Pact,” to be broadcast Oct. 25, 2014 (10:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
“I don’t think I’ve had a whole night’s sleep since it happened,” Evelyn McCabe tells 48 HOURS. Evelyn waited up for John’s return on that fateful night in 1969. At midnight she got in her car and rode down the darkened streets screaming out his name. “No John,” says Evelyn, “I began praying at that point.”
The day after John McCabe should have been back in his Tewksbury, Massachusetts home, three young kids cutting through a vacant lot in the neighboring city of Lowell, found his body. He’d been tied up and his mouth and eyes taped over.
Police launched a massive investigation and talked to dozens of teenagers. From the beginning there were suspicions that John’s schoolmates may be involved. One of them, Walter Shelley, was driving around that night in a car that matched the description of a car spotted near the crime scene. Shelley denied having anything to do with John’s death. There was no definitive forensic evidence and no corroborating witnesses, so the case went cold. Years turned into decades without answers, but the family never lost hope. McCabe’s father, Bill, began documenting his son’s life in a notebook. Bill and Evelyn also kept the heat on police to keep looking for their son’s killer.
Can investigators solve the case that haunted the McCabe family for so long?
