A Murder in Wellesley: New book revisits Greineder case

Originally posted 9 24, 2012 by BBrown for Swellesley Report

A new book about the gruesome Halloween morning murder of Wellesley’s Mabel Greineder by her husband Dirk at Morses Pond is about to debut. Not coincidentally, the authors will be visiting Wellesley next month to promote their account, almost exactly 13 years after the killing. A Murder in Wellesley: The Inside Story of an Ivy-League Doctor’s Double Life, His Slain Wife, and the Trial That Gripped the Nation is written by Boston Herald reporter-turned-PR guy Tom Farmer and Marty Foley, who was the lead state police detective on the Greineder case.  The book promises “the untold story” and includes information from those who previously have declined to speak publicly about this case that “bitterly divided” the Greineders’ family. These sources include the Greineders’ niece, Belinda Markel, who testified against Dirk Greineder, as well as Greineder’s college roommates and crime scene investigators. The case gained national prominence in the early 2000s as salacious details of allergist Greineder’s secret life of porn and prostitutes, against the backdrop of our “well-heeled” community, aired nationally on Court TV. Numerous TV, magazine and newspaper reports rehashed the story, including an A&E documentary program called City Confidential. Greineder, now in his early 70s, was sentenced to life in prison for murder in 2001 and he has repeatedly sought to appeal the decision. The state Supreme Judicial Court will hear more arguments in November. Farmer declined to speculate on Greineder’s chances of getting a new trial, saying we’ll have to see what the SJC does.

Maybe someday Dirk Greineder will finally share the answers, but for now, that seems highly unlikely.

Editors pick : Tom Farmer 

Todays post goes to photographer Tom Farmer, who submitted his project Thames: Dark River, Still Shining. A close look at the goings on along the River Thames.

    These images, taken along the course of the River Thames, offer a small glimpse of how the river is inextricably linked to the national psyche, not just by its proximity to the capital but also through its collective history. Rich in culture and heritage the river has been the scene of many a spectacle from Royal traditions to industrial innovations. Yet it remains a wholly communal river, an inspiration to artists and musicians, a river of leisure, of sport and a place people call home.  These images are a meditation on a collective connection to the Thames and they reflect the diversity of community and tradition found along the route of the river." - Tom Farmer

Robert Mitchell's Panacea - 22nd March

Quite a while ago I was listening to Robert Mitchell’s band play a lunchtime set at the Jazz Café in Parkway in the days when they programmed jazz.   This would have been the Sunday Jazz Warriors session.  I think the lineup was Robert on piano, Richard Spaven on drums, Nico Gomez on electric bass, a German percussionist whose name escapes me right now, but that is no reflection on his contribution to the sound, and perhaps Barak Schmool on alto.  It reminded me again of how much Robert is his own man.  And perhaps coming close to the self contained composer, player, sound innovator of a pianist like Monk.  I think Robert’s sensitivity to the here and now, the urban, and the rich tradition of 20th Century piano techniques has resulted in the kind of individualism that jazz likes (or perhaps liked) to celebrate. 

Panacea are Robert Mitchell (piano), Deborah Jordan (vocal), Tom Farmer (bass) and Laurie Lowe (drums).
