Murder of Kristin Lardner

On May 30, 1992, 21-year-old Kristin Lardner was murdered in Boston, Massachusetts, by her ex-boyfriend Michael Cartier, who later killed himself.
The incident was also known as the Brookline murder. Cartier stalked and shot Lardner, who had a restraining order against him, before shooting himself.
Lardner's father George later released a book about the murder, called The Stalking of Kristin: A Father Investigates the Murder of His Daughter, receiving a Pulitzer Prize.
Cartier was a punk rock enthusiast who, a month prior to the murder, had tried to attack Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill at a show. He was described as "a nightclub bouncer with a short fuse".
