The first e-commerce murder #murderfolk #criminalcases #crime

On March 19, 1998, 17‑year‑old Chris Marquis of Fair Haven, Vermont, was killed and his mother seriously injured when a pipe bomb, sent via UPS, exploded while he was opening it in his bedroom. The bomb was traced back to 35‑year‑old Christopher Dean, a truck driver from Indiana, who allegedly sent the explosive in retaliation for being scammed in an online CB radio transaction. Dean was arrested the next day and later charged federally with transporting an explosive device across state lines with resulting death, as well as state murder charges in Vermont.
