Episode 107: The Disappearance of James Lusher

True Crime New England

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz tell the story of a missing boy and how his disappearance led to a confession over twenty years later. In November of 1992, 16-year-old James "Jamie" Lusher got on his bike and supposedly headed to his grandmother's house in Blandford, Massachusetts, which was over 12 miles away. He never made it there, and the only clue to his sudden disappearance was his bike being found a little while later near a pond. Nothing happened with his case until 2013, when already-convicted child killer Lewis Lent Jr. admitted to Jamie's murder. He sent police on a wild goose chase for Jamie's remains, but nothing was ever found. To this day, Lewis remains in jail and refuses to give the actual location of Jamie's body, as well as at least one other child's body.
