John J. McCabe
John Joseph McCabe (March 13, 1954 - September 27, 1969) was a youth from Tewksbury, Massachusetts, who was abducted and murdered after attending a Knights of Columbus dance in the nearby city of Lowell. His bound and strangled body was found in an empty lot on Maple Street in Lowell the next day.[1] McCabe's murder remained unsolved for over four decades, until April 2011, when three men were arrested for his murder. On February 20, 2014, 62-year-old Walter Shelley, of Tewksbury, was sentenced in Lowell Superior Court to life in prison for the murder.[2]
The case was covered in a 48 Hours episode titled "The Pact".[3]
