‘Went all out for everything'; Remembering Trooper Corey Thompsen through running
ST. JOSEPH, Ill. (WCIA) — Ryan Thompsen sat on his parent's patio Thursday afternoon. Last summer, he was in the same spot for a shared birthday party for him and his brother, Corey. 'He had hung up this huge screen for us to watch a movie,' Ryan said. 'He had the whole sound system set up for it, he had the projector set up for it, the screen set up — he just went 110% for anything that involved our family.' Thompsen family speaks out after Trooper's death The Thompsen family of five became a family of four back in October when Corey was killed in the line of duty. The 28-year-old Illinois State Trooper was hit by a truck when he was finishing up a traffic stop. Nearly eight months without his brother, Ryan said he holds onto Corey's attitude and determination. 'He went all out for everything,' Ryan said. That drive carried Corey through college, the police academy and the Illinois State Police Academy. It also helped the stand-out athlete cross finish line after finish line. The day of Corey's accident, Ryan had just gotten home from coaching a cross country meet. 'I had a text from my dad to me and my youngest brother, 'Hey you need to come home. Corey's had an accident,'' Ryan said. Fallen ISP Trooper Thompsen honored in press conference Corey was one of three boys, four years and nine days apart from Ryan, who said the loss is still surreal. 'It's never seemed like he's gone,' Ryan said. 'Sometimes it just really hits you.' Ongoing events and efforts to raise money for a memorial scholarship help his family feel closer to the 28-year-old. '[It] doesn't matter that he's my younger brother, that's somebody I can look up to for the rest of my life,' Ryan said. The Trooper Thompsen Memorial 5K is the family's latest way of keeping Corey's memory alive. 'He and I shared plenty of passions, especially running together,' Ryan said. 'We want it to be an event that everybody can show up to and feel like their community is together and just experiencing a really fun time.' Fallen State Trooper remembered by helping others through scholarship Ryan said he feels Corey's presence everywhere and all the time. He hopes people walk away from Saturday's race feeling the same. The event is Saturday, June 14 at the Woodard Family Park in St. Joseph. In addition to the 5K and kid's mile, a silent auction and 50/50 raffle will also be going on. All proceeds will benefit the Trooper Corey Thompsen scholarship. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Cold case solved: Killer identified in Mass. woman's 'brutal' murder from 45 years ago
After 45 years, investigators have named the person they believe is responsible for stabbing a 48-year-old woman to death in her Ayer home — thanks to genetic genealogy, the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday. On May 21, 1980, Katharina Reitz Brow was found dead in her trailer from 30 stab wounds, the district attorney's office said in a press release. Within years of her death, a man was wrongly convicted of her murder, but a new DNA analysis of a bloodstain found at the scene of the crime has identified Joseph Leo Boudreau as Brow's killer. Born in Natick in 1943, Boudreau was a long-time Massachusetts resident who worked in the Framingham area as an adult, the district attorney's office said. He was convicted of armed robbery in New Hampshire in 1975. Boudreau was 27 years old when Brow was killed, the district attorney's office said. He moved to Maine in 1987 and lived there until his death in 2004 at age 61. 'We do not forget when someone enters Middlesex County and violently takes a person's life. No matter how much time passes, our priority remains the same — to seek answers," Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said in the release. 'In this case, that meant identifying the person responsible for Mrs. Brow's death, even though they could no longer be held accountable through the criminal system.' On the day of her death, Brow was killed between 7:10 a.m. — when her husband left for work — and 10:45 a.m. when her body was found, Ryan said during a press conference about the case on Thursday. Five of the 30 stab wounds penetrated Brow's heart, and she was also hit repeatedly with some kind of blunt object. Brow was likely conscious for at least half of the attack, Ryan said. She is estimated to have remained alive for 10 to 20 minutes after the assault ended. The inside of Brow's home showed signs of a struggle, but no indications of forced entry, Ryan said. Her purse and a large sum of cash she kept in her linen closet were found to be missing, but investigators recovered one of the murder weapons — a knife — from a wastebasket inside the home. In October 1982, a man named Kenneth Waters was arrested and charged with Brow's murder, Ryan said. He lived near Brow and worked at Park Street Diner in Ayer, at which she was a regular. Waters was convicted of Brow's murder in May 1983 — partially based on analysis of a bloodstain left at the scene of the crime, the district attorney's office said. The blood was found to be type O — Waters' blood type. At the time of the conviction, blood typing was among the few analyses the crime lab responsible for the case was capable of conducting, the district attorney's office said. But Waters' conviction was vacated in March 2001 when DNA analysis of the bloodstain determined that it was left by a man — but not Waters. The 2010 movie 'Conviction,' starring Hilary Swank, tells the story of Waters' conviction and how it was overturned. 'Since the conviction in this case was vacated in 2001, many investigators had been assigned to review the investigation, follow up on leads and apply known investigative techniques. Unfortunately, information to further the investigation never developed,' Ayer Police Chief Brian Gill said in the release. In 2022, the district attorney's office's Cold Case Unit began working with forensic chemists at Virgina-based Parabon NanoLabs to try to identify the man who left the bloodstain using genetic genealogy, the district attorney's office said. Investigators isolated a genetic line that implicated two brothers as potential suspects — but both brothers were now dead. Investigators then tried to find the brothers' living relatives and ultimately convinced them to cooperate with the investigation, the district attorney's office said. Using DNA samples from the relatives, scientists at Virginia-based Bode Laboratories determined with 'an overwhelming statistical likelihood' that one of the brothers — Joseph Boudreau — was the man who'd left the bloodstain. Brow's family has been informed that their loved one's murder has been solved, Ryan said during the press conference. " Today, what's important is that we wanna keep the focus on Katharina Reitz Brow," she said. 'She was a hardworking wife, mother and sister who died violently in her own home.'

1980 slaying in Ayer MA was made into movie. Now authorities say they know who did it
For decades, the May 21, 1980, murder of Katharina Reitz Brow in her Ayer home has been discussed at length. The murder itself was brutal. Later, the man convicted of the crime, Kenneth Williams Waters, was freed from prison after serving 18 years when blood evidence at the scene cleared him of wrongdoing. He died six months after he was freed, with a movie created to tell the story of his conviction and effort to clear his name. On Thursday, June 12, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan announced during a press conference in her Woburn office that the murder has been solved, more than 45 years after it happened. 'We could have easily just let the case stand at that point (after the murder conviction was thrown out), but in this office, we don't forget when someone comes into Middlesex County and attacks someone and someone loses their life,' Ryan said. Ryan said the murder has been tied to Joseph Leo Boudreau, a former Natick resident who worked in Framingham. Boudreau died in 2004 at age 61. Brow was 48 when she was killed sometime between 7:10 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on May 21, 1980. She was stabbed 30 times — five times in the heart — and there was evidence she was severely beaten with a blunt object. Brow would have been alive 10 to 20 minutes after she was attacked and conscious for about half that time, Ryan said, citing the medical examiner at the time. Cash in the home was stolen. Waters, who worked at a nearby diner that Brow frequented, was eventually arrested and convicted for the murder in 1983. In 2001, he was freed after blood found at the scene, and believed to be of the suspect, did not match Waters' blood, Ryan said. At the time of the murder, experts could only test the blood type, which matched Waters', she said. Waters' conviction, and the efforts of his sister, Betty Anne Waters, who had no college degree but worked to earn a law degree for the purpose of freeing her brother, was made into the 2010 movie 'Conviction,' which starred Hillary Swank. The district attorney's cold case division, using more modern testing techniques called forensic genetic genealogy testing, which uses both DNA and genealogical research to identify matches, led investigators to two men, Boudreau and his brother, Ryan said. 'Admission came too late': Wrongfully convicted man's civil case against Milford scheduled for trial in July Living family members voluntarily provided investigators DNA, with testing proving that the blood stain belonged to Boudreau. She said it was 616 million times more likely to be Boudreau's blood than anyone else. Ryan said Boudreau was a longtime Massachusetts resident, born in Natick in 1943. He worked in the Framingham area, but had been convicted in an armed robbery in New Hampshire. She said he moved to Ogunquit, Maine, in 1987 and died in 2004. There was no known connection between Brow and Boudreau, Ryan said. Ryan said solving the case highlights the 'integrity of our convictions,' and said investigators have been in touch with Brow's surviving family members. She said she hopes the new information brings them a sense of closure. Ayer Police Chief Brian Gill said Brow's murder 'shocked' the community and ever since Waters was freed, the case had been 'assigned and reassigned to many investigators' in hopes of finding the person responsible. 'I'm thankful on behalf of the town that we may be able to bring some closure to the Brow family,' Gill said during Thursday's press conference. Brow's daughter, Melrose Brow, could not be reached for comment on Thursday. A son, Charles Brow, died in 2019. He was 65. Ryan said Brow should be remembered as 'a hardworking wife, mother and sister who died violently in her own home.'
