Thanks for letting me speak.

It's always a great day here on Inside Lowell and on The Daily Pulse.

And today we're going to chat with one of the candidates vying for the state Senate seat from the first Middlesex district, the district comprised of Lowell, Dracut, Tingsborough, Dunstable, and Pepperell.

Did I get all six towns? This time you did.

I did.

So I stayed as an independent with a lot of people saying you should run as an independent.

Now, we've had conversations.

And by the way, I was I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that the district of the first Middlesex, Dracut, Lowell, Tingsborough, Pepperell and Dunstable.

74.7% are unenrolled, independent voters, right? And there's all kinds of information out there that people say, oh, it's because they get their license and they just throw them as independents.

So let's jump right in.

Our story begins in 1986 in Pepperell, Massachusetts.

Pepperell sits close to the New Hampshire border, about 50 miles northwest of Boston.

At the time, it was home to around 10,000 people, the kind of small New England town where serious violent crime wasn't something that the local police dealt with every day, and it was here that Frank Bowen lived with his daughters.

His oldest, Tina, was a teenager.

He had been hiding inside the Bowen house behind the wall.

Investigators learned that Daniel hadn't simply broke into the house that one night.

Retired Pepperell Police Lieutenant Thomas Lane, who worked the case, would later describe Daniel as occupying the Bowen home, quote, "from time to time over roughly six months." So despite the legend that Daniel secretly lived inside the walls, that's not quite what the evidence shows.
