Thanks for looking into this case. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, this really caught us all off guard. There have been many rumors that I've heard over the years. And of course "true crime" stories being one of my favorite things to watch unfold on TV or different social media platforms, it's definitely different when it happens in your town... in your neighborhood. Which of course you never think a thing like this could happen your neighborhood. The neighbors I know, all tried to keep an extra eye out on who was driving by, if anyone was acting suspicious, etc. But the whole covid thing definitely distracted lots of us to what was going on.
I unfortunately didn't have any ring camera at that time. I wish I had. Did the police find no camera footage from neighbors at all? What about businesses on Rt 58? Ughh... all of this is truly heartbreaking.
This is a very quiet neighborhood, especially at night. All you can hear is crickets & every now & then the train in the distance. If there's any kind of ruckus outside, the neighbors are typically alerted to it quickly because it is so quiet. So we try to watch out for eachother.
This is one of the main reasons when this happened, my gut told me it had to be someone she knew. Of course, at first my instinct was the last person she was seen with, as with all missing person cases. But as you pointed out, he was thoroughly investigated & cleared. And I have no doubt he is telling the truth.
I have so many questions about this case. Not only as someone who is intrigued by "true crime" (I hate even calling it that btw... I wish there was a better term), but as a daughter I feel for Laina and as a neighbor... Sandra deserves justice.
The only people that know what I said to the Grand Jury are the DAs the jurors and me. Writing that I didn't answer questions is irresponsible and slander. I answered every question that was asked of me in the Grand Jury so please remove this nonsense and reveal your source. My sister Sandra who I was very close to was murdered and you believe it is justified to make up false accusations against me because I refused to interview with you. This story is total nonsense and you sound like you have a learning disability, so understand that is why I refused to interview with you.
What I don’t get is OK so the daughter and the husband saw someone leave a note on her ring camera so where is the footage from her ring camera to who walked in her house and was arguing that night with her. There’s gotta be some footage of people going to her house on the ring camera Unless I read something wrong here.
You say you are a reporter, but I find that hard to believe. This article is filled with grammatical and spelling errors. It even includes this befuddling sentence: "The most vocal family member involved in this case is Michael Dabrowski, Stephen Dabrowski’s oldest son and Sandra Crispo’s daughter." So he is somehow Stephen Dabrowski's son and also Sandra Crispo's daughter...even though he is actually her brother? How can you have missed such an error? You don't seem to understand the difference between possessive and plural as you use them interchangeably. "A woman whom my wife worked, and became friendly with, mother had gone missing from her modest home in a quiet suburb south of Boston." So you wife worked her? Or do you mean worked with her? "Tim dropped Sandra off at home just before5 and said goodbye out the window from the driver seat." Out Of the window not "out the window." "At around 330pm that afternoon, Tim McMahon showed up..." I don't know what time three hundred and thirty is. Did you mean 3:30 PM? Because that is how you write times and you have written them all in an incorrect format. "Tim McMahon, Laina’s husband, and father to a adorable brood of Sandra’s grandchildren." That should be AN adorable brood. "To understand Sandra’s disappearance, you have to understand Sandra’s family: The Dombrowski’s." That should be plural not possessive. "It was a move born out of convenience, not some money making scam cooked up by the diabolical Laina McMahon as some have bantered about online." The correct word here is bandied, not bantered. "Whoever did this knew Sandra." That should be whomever. "As far as I know, nobody has come forward, no ring footage exists. " Ring is a trademarked brand and should be capitalized. "Long enough to say goodbye to his mother in law." This is a sentence fragment with no subject and it should read mother-in-law. "with whom I shared a 6th grade homeroom with" One with, before or at the end, not both. "The key evidence in the whole case?" Another nonsensical sentence fragment. "...he has referred to me as a ‘‘Fucking idiot’' recently" I am not sure why you capitalized this but I have to say, given all the errors, I certainly agree with him.
"The next in the series is titled "Who's Blood was Found in Sandra's Home?" “Who Is” Blood? Do you not know the difference between whose and who's? You desperately need to learn spelling and grammar as well as to proofread your work. This is a badly written mess.
I’ve lived in Pembroke my whole life - do you think her body was dumped in one of the ponds nearby? Maybe whoever broke in saw her car was gone and assumed she wasn’t home. Then when she was dropped off they had no time to escape once they heard her in the kitchen preparing food. It seems she was caught by surprise.

Caroline- So much more to come on this case. Its a hornets nest. So much deeper than you think
Thanks for sharing this! The family is lucky to have you research this case! Hoping you get to the bottom of it!
I am doing my best, thank you Crystal!
He also spelled Dabrowski different ways in this story.
