Where is Charles Stuart now?
Where is Charles Stuart now? Charles “Chuck” Stuart died by suicide on January 4, 1990. His suicide note did not have a confession to the murders.
Charles Stuart’s brother Matthew confessed to authorities that Charles orchestrated the plan to kill his wife. According to the New York Times, Matthew told police that, by prearrangement, he picked up the .38-caliber revolver used in the killing as well as Carol’s handbag from the car where she lay dying. Along with a family friend, he threw them into the Pines River. In 1991, Matthew was indicted for obstruction of justice and insurance fraud, while Jack McMahon was indicted as an accessory to murder. Both served three years in prison.
As for Willie Bennett, he currently lives in Boston with dementia. His family never received an apology for the false accusations and sued the city. They were awarded $12,500 in damages. In an interview with The US Sun, he attributed his release to Matthew’s confession. “No doubt about it, I would have went to jail,” he said. Bennett later called Charles a “monster.” “I aint got nothing to say about that man,” he said.”He did what he did and now he’s gone”
