He was just walking home. Then came the taunts, the chase—and the river.A summer night turned deadly, and a community's silence became part of the crime.In 1984, Charlie Howard was a young gay man living openly in Bangor, Maine—a bold act of visibility in a time and place that offered little safety. When he was brutally attacked by a group of local teenagers, the town was left shaken. But what followed raised even deeper questions: How do you confront hate when it hides behind youth?

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz talk about a hate crime that took place in Bangor, Maine. It was a warm night on August 4th, 1984 when 23-year-old Charlie Howard was walking home from a church event with his boyfriend, Roy Ogden. While crossing the Kenduskeag River Bridge, a car full of teenagers pulls up and begins to harass and give chase to the two men. Charlie, unfortunately, suffers from severe asthma and is unable to run very far, which allows the teenage boys easy access to kick and beat up Charlie. Eventually, the three boys hoist Charlie up onto the guardrail while he pleads for his life, unable to catch his breath, and they push him over and into the Kenduskeag River. It was 3 hours later that Charlie's body was found, and the next morning the boys are arrested. To this day, Bangor celebrates Charlie's life and pushes for a hate-free community.

In honor of Pride month, this week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of Charlie Howard, a young gay man that was murdered in Bangor, ME in 1984, who never really received justice due to his sexual orientation.  As Howard and his boyfriend, Roy Ogden, were walking down the street, three teenagers, Shawn Mabry, James Baines, and Daniel Ness, harassed, assaulted, and murdered Howard for being gay. The youths chased the pair, yelling homophobic epithets, until they caught Howard and threw him over the State Street Bridge into the Kenduskeag Stream, despite his pleas that he could not swim. He drowned, but his boyfriend escaped and pulled a fire alarm. Charlie Howard's body was found by rescue workers several hours later. The boys were sent to the Hancock County Jail and later released into their parents' custody. They were tried as juveniles and sentenced on 1 October 1984 to the Maine Youth Center not to exceed their 21st birthdays, however all parties served less than 24 months. This event galvanized the Bangor community in ways similar to the killing of Matthew Shepard, although the case never attained the same level of national notoriety. This incident inspired a similar scene near the beginning of Stephen King's novel It, in which three homophobic teenagers throw an openly gay man, Adrian Mellon, over a bridge and into the Kenduskeag, where he was set upon and murdered by the monster It in the form of Pennywise. Today, a short distance from the site of Howard's death, a memorial has been erected; engraved on the stone are the words: “May we, the citizens of Bangor, continue to change the world around us until hatred becomes peacemaking and ignorance becomes understanding.” July 7, Howard's death date, is now Diversity Day in Bangor.

Charlie Howard argues that public services should find their users, not wait to be found. Charlie started the charity MAC-UK to provide specialist mental health services to gang members and other at-risk young people. As she began to work with them, she found more and more people who would never have accessed traditional services, but were in desperate need of them. She makes the case that this is also a better, more efficient way to help service users, and argues that other public service providers - from teachers to job advisers - should consider how they can adopt the same approach.
