Three brothers charged with a 2020 murder will remain behind bars. The decision comes just hours after a Superior Court judge cleared the way for their release.
A murder trial in Lowell has been pushed off and three brothers accused of a 2022 killing are now seeking release from jail, following explosive revelations of an alleged cover-up involving one of the State Police detectives who investigated them.
25 Investigates first requested these public records from the Lowell Police Department 98 days ago, on December 4, 2025. The request noted that the reports and videos sought may need to be redacted to shield any potential victims.
Xavier Cruz’s guilty plea for the rape and indecent assault and battery of a 14-year-old resident at the now-shuttered Greylock group home in Springfield has revealed what a victim’s rights attorney describes as a catastrophic failure of the Massachusetts state background check system.
A Norfolk County Superior Court judge has ruled that two iPhones seized from Karen Read should be returned. However, a specific provision in the order means Read likely won’t be holding her devices anytime soon.
A new court filing from the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office has revealed that a State Police supervisor may have known for nearly two years that a fellow detective was allegedly driving drunk during a 2023 crash that later resulted in a fatality.
Massachusetts State Police (MSP) Colonel Geoffrey D. Noble has announced an independent review and policy changes following explosive allegations of a cover-up surrounding a 2023 fatal cruiser crash. The move comes as body camera footage, obtained by 25 Investigates, reveals discrepancies between the official record and the events following the December 12, 2023, collision that later claimed the life of 37-year-old Angelo Schettino of Saugus.
While Quigley’s attorney maintains the crash was a “tragic accident,” newly disclosed hospital records from when Quigley was treated for injuries he sustained in the crash suggest that the detective was legally intoxicated at the time of the collision.
Schettino, a former Special Olympian, never recovered from his injuries and died in the hospital 31 days after the crash. For the Schettino family, the tragedy of the crash was only the beginning.
