"The family of Claire Gravel has waited 40 long years for justice. The prosecutors here today, together with our partners in law enforcement, never gave up on Claire's case."
"What he left behind was his genetic blueprint on the murder weapon."
John Carey was sentenced to life in prison for the first-degree murder of Claire Gravel, a Salem State University student, nearly 40 years after her death. Prosecutors emphasized the family's long wait for justice, as Carey was indicted in 2022 and found guilty in March 2023. Evidence, including DNA found on the murder weapon, played a crucial role in the case. Gravel's body was discovered in 1986, and the investigation remained cold until new leads emerged in 2012.
