John Michael Irmer, a 68-year-old man from Oregon, has been charged with the murder of Susan Marcia Rose in Boston's Back Bay in 1979. Irmer confessed to the crime, stating that he struck Rose with a hammer in a building under renovation on Beacon Street. DNA evidence from the crime scene matched Irmer's DNA, and he will now face charges for the murder that had previously led to an innocent man being tried and acquitted.
