Episode 210: The Murder of Rita Hester

Join Katie and Liz on this week’s episode of True Crime New England as they discuss the case that inspired the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, an acknowledgement of the unsolved murder of Rita Hester. On November 28th, 1998, 34-year-old trans woman Rita Hester was found stabbed to death in her Allston, Massachusetts apartment. What followed was local media and law enforcement misgendering and deadnaming her, putting a harsh mark on trying to raise awareness of a woman who was so brutally slain. Despite the awareness and advocacy from her loved ones, Rita’s heinous murder remains unsolved.

Anyone with any information on the murder of Rita Hester is asked to please call the Boston Police Department through their anonymous tip line at 1-800-494-8477 or by texting “TIP” to CRIME (27463).
