By the time police arrived, Carol was dead, and the baby was soon lost as well. The attack incited a furor during a time of heightened racial tension in the community.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Even more appalling, while the injuries were real, Stuart’s story was a hoax: \u003ci\u003eHe \u003c\/i\u003ewas the true killer. But the tragedy would continue with the arrest of Willie Bennett, a young man Stuart identified in a line-up. Stuart’s deception would only be exposed after a shocking revelation from his brother and, finally, his suicide, when he jumped into the freezing waters of the Mystic River.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e As the story unraveled, police would put together the disturbing pieces of a puzzle that included Stuart’s distress over his wife’s pregnancy, his romantic interest in a coworker, and life insurance fraud.
