It's Monday, June 15, 1992 and summer has started early in Worcester.
It's around 12:45 p.m.. Temperatures have reached a high of 75 degrees. Worcester's public schools are already dismissed for summer vacation and Main Street is buzzing.
Children and adults alike are outside in Worcester's Main South neighborhood enjoying the sunny weather, completely unaware of the dozen or so Worcester police cruisers heading their way.
A young boy walking his dog down Lagrange Street has just made an alarming discovery.
At the corner of Lagrange and Main Streets, on a strip of lawn behind a Sunoco gas station, the boy found the body of 39-year-old Richard Gragowski behind a row of bushes among old mattresses and empty wine bottles.
Richard had been bludgeoned to death. His skull had been crushed. His body had been sitting there in the sun for hours.
