B-School Assistant Stabbed to Death Over Spring Break

An administrative assistant at the Business School was stabbed to death in the vestibule of her 13A Ware Street apartment during the spring break.

Carol Peterson, assistant to Lawrence E. Fouraker, dean of the Business School, was murdered Monday, March 31, at around 11 p.m., after returning from a friend's party. Cambridge police said she was stabbed 13 times and that they believe she was also robbed.

The 48 year old Peterson had lived at 13A Ware Street, which is a block from the Freshman Union, for the last four years. The police have a composite drawing of one suspect, a male in his 20s.

Fouraker said yesterday that a memorial service would be held for Peterson on Thursday at 2:30 p.m., in Memorial Church.
