""For decades, the Bishop and Bell families were deprived of the full story of what happened to their loved ones. It was a lengthy process to identify Robert Carey, but it is my sincere hope that knowing his name and bringing his heinous actions to light will bring a sense of closure and peace to the Bishop and Bell families.""
""Bishop's naked body was found in Mulberry Park on June 25, 1991, and she was found to have been sexually assaulted and strangled to death. Over the past 35 years, Brockton police and Massachusetts State Police conducted extensive investigative work in an attempt to identify her killer.""
""On April 4, 1993, Bell was walking on Annis Avenue when a man driving a van, later determined to be Carey, grabbed her. He threatened to strangle her with an electric wire and sexually assaulted her before grabbing a sharp object.""
Prosecutors have identified Robert Carey as the perpetrator of a 1991 murder and a 1993 rape in Brockton after over three decades. Carey strangled Cherie Bishop in 1991 and raped Donna Bell in 1993. Although he was linked to the crimes through DNA evidence, charges cannot be filed against him as he passed away in June 2025. The identification of Carey aims to provide closure to the victims' families, who have long sought answers regarding the crimes committed against their loved ones.
