Show Notes

It's around 1 a.m. on January 13, 1993.

Worcester Police officers arrive at the Public Inebriate Program, or PIP, shelter in Worcester's Main South neighborhood.

Police are at the shelter to arrest James Earl Johnson…he's wanted for the murder of 42-year-old Vicki Lehtinen, whose body was found in the basement of a Pleasant Street apartment building just three days before.

Vicki had been beaten and strangled to death.

The last time Vicki was seen alive, she was leaving a Main Street bar with James Earl Johnson.
