Bodies once frozen underwater bubble to the surface, discarded weapons are suddenly in plain view Yesterday, a group of boys playing hockey on a frozen lake in Worcester didn't realize how precariously thin the ice had become. One boy fell through a crack but instead of plunging into the depths of the frigid water, he dropped about five feet and landed on a solid object - the roof of a car. A light blue Ford Tempo sedan, to be exact.

The car was extricated and examined. The license plates had been removed but the vehicle identification number on the engine block matched that of a car reported as stolen from Concord, Massachusetts on March 1, 2002. Is this the vehicle the Beacon Hill murderer used? We'll know shortly. The car has been taken to an auto forensics lab where further testing is underway. Luis Fuente, who is currently in police custody for a grand theft auto charge, adamantly denies having stolen a Ford Tempo in the past. As for the boy who made the discovery in Worcester, he had no significant injuries and is doing quite well. In fact, I'm pleased to report his team won the hockey game, two-zip.

The spring thaw has also unearthed a person of interest, Dr. Derek Douglas, in Tuscon, Arizona. Dr. Douglas was finally traced through ATM withdrawals, and phone calls to his mother. After his disappearance from Boston, he traveled throughout the country trying to find his true purpose in life. He found it in Tuscon a year ago, at the compound of a new age healer and guru. Through the guidance of his new mentor, Dr. Douglas was able to kick his painkiller habit and embrace a more natural, holistic way of life.

His newfound spiritualism has finally allowed him to accept the tragic death of his wife. It has not, however, let him forget the importance of the legal community. Since his 're-interview' by a Boston PD detective, Dr. Douglas has retained the services of a top-notch attorney. He is also refusing to provide a DNA sample to the police. Stay tuned for further developments.
