Boston U.S. Attorney’s Office Re-Opens 1993 Mail Bomb Investigation

Published on: February 25, 2010 | by Lefteris K. Travayiakis, Esq.

The Boston U.S. Attorney’s Office has reopened its investigation of the attempted mail bombing of Boston Children’s Hospital Dr. Paul Rosenberg. Amy Bishop, now charged with killing three other professors at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and shooting several others, along with her husband, James Anderson, are again named as suspects in that mail bombing.

In 1993, Dr. Paul Rosenberg received a package containing a bomb, but the package did not explode. The package was apparently sent shortly after Amy Bishop quit her job at Boston’s Children’s Hospital after a bad peer review by Dr. Rosenberg.

As previously reported in the Boston Criminal Lawyers Blog, in 1986, Amy Bishop was also questioned regarding the 1986 shooting and killing of her brother. She was not charged relative to that incident, authorities determining at the time that the shooting was accidental.

Boston Police are looking for two armed men who shot and killed 71 year old store clerk Gerald Serrano at Hermanos Unidos convenience store in Roxbury, Massachusetts, yesterday morning. It is reported that the clerk was shot because he resisted the demands of the robbers.

Boston Police have not disclosed how much money the two armed robbers were able to get away with, if any. Both armed suspects have been described as black males, one wearing all black and the other wearing all red, each with hooded sweatshirts.

The murder of Gerald Serrano comes only two months after the murder of Surendra Dangol, who was also shot and killed at his convenience store in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Arrested for that murder was Edward Corliss, who had been previously convicted of killing another store clerk in Salisbury in 1973. Edward Corliss had been released in 2006 by the Massachusetts Parole Board for that 1973 murder.

The criminal investigation ongoing, more details have emerged since Professor Amy Bishop was arrested for allegedly gunning down six fellow faculty members at the University of Alabama in Huntsville on February 12, 2010.

In 1986 while a student in Boston at Northeastern University, Amy Bishop was investigated by the Boston Police Department for shooting and killing her brother with a shotgun after a family argument. Boston Police and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office did not charge her with a crime, and it is reported that the shooting was never completely investigated by the police. Amy Bishop and her family claimed the shooting was an accident, and it is believed that the Boston Police accepted that version.
