Halitosis Hunch
A rape victim was at home in February 2005 when she was grabbed by a masked man, gagged with duct tape, bound and then raped.
She was able to identify her attacker as her boss because she recognized his bad breath. Her hunch was corroborated by DNA evidence found at the scene and her boss was arrested eight days later.
After three days of deliberation, the attacker was convicted this week by a Norfolk Superior Court jury of four counts of aggravated rape, one count of kidnapping, one count of assault with intent to rape, one count of indecent assault and battery and one count of assault and battery.
However, Tuen K. “Dickie” Lee is now on the run, having failed to turn up for the last day of his trial. If an oriental looking gentleman with bad breath appears in your vicinity, call the cops.
Seriously! Anyone with information can contact state police detectives at 508-820-2121, or Quincy police at 617-479-1212.
