It should have been a routine school night in Somerville, Massachusetts for 17-year-old Deanna Cremon, homework, TV, and a walk home with her boyfriend before curfew. But by morning, Deanna was gone. Her body was discovered just a few hundred feet away from where she was last seen. The community was stunned. Who could do this? And why? For three decades, Deanna's family and friends have waited for.

answers, holding on to hope as forensic science evolves. DNA and forensic genetic genealogy is now at the center of the conversation. Could the key to solving this case be hidden in a decades-old sample, waiting for the right technology, or the right name, to match? I'm Kylie Lowe, and this is the case of Deanna Kremlin on Darkdowne East. It was the night of March 29, 1995, and 17-year-old Deanna Cremond was over at her boyfriend's place, watching TV and doing homework. Deanna and 18-year-old Thomas Tommy LeBlank had been an item for at least a year at that point,

and their studying-slash-television sessions were a pretty routine occurrence in their relationship. According to reporting by Peter Galzinnis for the Boston Herald, Deanna had a 10 p.m. curfew, so when it was time for her to go home, Tommy would usually walk Deanna from his place on Broadway down to her home on Jake Street, only about a half mile away. But that evening, as Deanna's curfew approached, she called her mother Catherine Kremlin and let her know she was going to be late. Deanna said, I love you, and Catherine said it back,

before hanging up the phone and drifting off to sleep on the couch. When Catherine woke up around midnight, she realized that Deanna still was wasn't home. Megan Tench reports that Deanna had just received a pager as a gift for her 17th birthday a few days earlier, so Catherine called the pager, but didn't get a response. A few more pages, and still, nothing back from her daughter. Catherine explained away the jolt of worry in her belly with the most likely scenario. Deanna probably just fell asleep watching TV and was spending the night at Tommy's house. She resolved to give Deanna a lecture about it when she saw her the next day. The very next morning, Catherine got up early for work as usual.

Realizing her daughter's bed was still empty from the night before, Catherine decided to call Tommy's house. She told Tommy he'd better tell Deanna to get her butt home, but he said Deanna wasn't at his house. According to Catherine, Tommy explained that he'd walked Deanna halfway home the night before. They parted ways near the corner of Heath and Bond streets, he said. That was only two or three times. hence of a mile down the street from Deanna's house, almost a straight shot.

Catherine left for work, no doubt concerned after that call with her daughter's boyfriend. She asked Deanna's stepfather Michael Kremlin to call the high school just to make sure Deanna had shown up for class. Michael hoped that the call would calm the fear rising in his wife's mind, but the call did the exact opposite. Deanna had been marked absent. Meanwhile, around 8 a.m. that day, two elementary school students taking a shortcut to school behind the James J. Corbett Apartments at 125 Jake Street, found a body

lying along the walking path. She was next to a chain link fence at the top of a steep embankment that separated the apartments from a different housing development on Mystic Avenue. The children thought the girl was asleep. Deanna's family had already called police to begin the search for their missing daughter as news about what the children had discovered began circulating in town, on the bus, and at Catherine's workplace. When her husband called and told Catherine she'd better come home, she already knew the earth-shattering news she was about to receive. The body found behind the senior housing development that morning was her daughter, Deanna.

She'd once babysat the children who found her. According to reporting by Paul Langner and Pamela W. Walsh for the Boston Globe, Deanna's uncle said that police first told their family that Deanna died of a drug overdose, but that information couldn't have been further from the truth. There were no obvious signs of injury that the first responders could see, but the autopsy later found that Deanna died from strangulation and her death was officially ruled a homicide. At the time, investigators did not disclose if the autopsy found indications of sexual assault. However, the condition of her clothing and state of undress at the time of

discovery raised questions about a possible sexual element to the crime. Beverly Ford and David Weber report for the Boston Herald that Deanna was found partially nude. Witnesses claimed they saw Deanna laying on her back, wearing a red jacket that was open in the front. Her pants were pulled completely off her right leg and halfway down her left thigh. Her right shoe was not on her foot, but her left foot was still wearing a sock and sneaker. As of today, there's no clear answer. to the question about where the murder occurred. Investigators at the time didn't say if they believed Deanna was killed in that location or if she was left there after her death. However, residents who

spoke to the media at the time said they didn't hear anything strange or concerning the night before Deanna's body was found. Marjorie Egan writes in her column for the Boston Herald that getting to the location of Deanna's body required walking down a path that connected Jake Street to the backyard of that senior housing complex, you'd pass a fence, and several apartment windows while traipsing down a full flight of 13 stairs. By the sounds of it, it wasn't exactly an area you'd just stumble upon, but given the fact that two children found Deanna there

while taking a shortcut to school, it seems like it was a path known to locals and frequently traveled. The location of her body was also less than 500 feet away from where her boyfriend Tommy said he left Deanna that night when he walked her halfway home. Police obviously had questions for Tommy, however, he was not considered a suspect at the time. As for his version of events of the night before Deanna's body was found,

he told police basically the same thing he told Deanna's mother. He said that he walked Deanna halfway home. He didn't accompany her all the way because he'd ordered some food and wanted to get back to his house for the delivery. Friends who saw their relationship said that Tommy and Deanna were very close, and they really loved each other. Tommy's mother has said that her son was extremely upset about Deanna's death, and Deanna's mother recalled Tommy being emotional as well. Catherine remembers Tommy holding her hand at Deanna's wake as he sobbed asking, What am I going to do now?

Tommy was one among dozens of people police spoke to in the first critical hours of the investigation. family and friends and fellow classmates and co-workers of Deanna's gave their accounts of the girl they knew the people she surrounded herself with and anything unusual in her life in the days before somebody killed her. That's how police came to interview a Somerville firefighter who had reportedly taken an interest in Deanna. He'd been a firefighter for over a decade and came from a prominent family in town, his father was a well-known attorney. The firefighter worked out of the Central Fire Station on Broadway, which was across the street from the supermarket where Deanna worked. Beverly Ford and David Weber's reporting for the Boston Herald indicates that

the firefighter worked on that Wednesday morning the day before Deanna's murder was discovered. He was scheduled again for that Sunday, but called out sick twice. Maybe because of the scrutiny he was under at the time. Police questioned the firefighter at least three times early on with the first interview just a day after she was found. He was reportedly cooperative with the investigation, and according to at least one source, he provided samples which could presumably be forensically tested against evidence police already had in the case.

Police did not identify him as a suspect at the time, and he has never faced any charges. Investigators soon announced that they were searching for a potential witness seen in the area of 125 Jake Street around the time someone murdered Deanna, and they released a sketch and description of the potential witness. He was described as 40 to 45 years old,

white with short dark hair, 5 foot 9 to 5 foot 11 inches tall, and 160 to 170 pounds. You can see the sketch at darkdownease.com. Investigators stated that the man was not a suspect. They just wanted to talk to him about what he may have seen or heard that night. Matthew Brellas reports for the Boston Globe, that as of April 1995, police had not excluded anyone as a suspect, though they had also not

officially, publicly identified any suspects. Jason B. Johnson reports for the Boston Herald, however, that according to a member of Deanna's family, police had seven to ten suspects at the time, and there was belief among investigators that an arrest was imminent. Police did not confirm this information. Nearly a month into the investigation, Deanna's family was justifiably frustrated that no one had been arrested for her murder. So they decided to start raising money to offer a reward for information in her case. They sold tickets to a benefit dinner at a local restaurant, as well as purple ribbons with

Deanna's name on them. They created and sold t-shirts with words from her memorial service, quote, this is Deanna's message to us. respect life. Someone did not respect hers. End quote. Not long after the effort began, funds raised allowed Deanna's family to announce a $10,000 reward for information, leading to the capture and conviction of her killer. It's heartening to see the commitment this community had and still has to keep Deanna's memory alive. With the investigation still ongoing in May of 1995, the Somerville Board of Alderman voted on a proclamation to rename the corner of

Jake's and Temple Street to Deanna Cremond Square. A friend of the Kremlin family came up with the idea in hopes that it would carry Deanna's name on through decades and generations to come. They didn't want Deanna to be forgotten. The blue signs marking her square still stand today, often adorned with a wreath in Deanna's honor. Even a year after Deanna died, the investigation still had not developed to the point of an arrest. There was no word on whether that man in the composite sketch was ever identified or located, or if the investigative findings had pointed to the firefighter or to Tommy or someone else entirely having information about what happened that night.

So once again, Deanna's family, with the help of community members, found a new way to keep attention on the case. A donated billboard went up near Temple Street and Broadway off the Merritt. McGrath Highway in Somerville with an unmissable reminder of the reward for information. Again, at the two-year mark, another billboard went up. But again, Deanna's case went without closure. In 1999, another billboard was raised in Deanna's Winter Hill neighborhood, and this one featured a message written as if Deanna herself was addressing her killer. Let my time in heaven be restful, it said. You know what you did to me. Again in 2001, a new

billboard was raised for the month of March. How much longer must I wait? It read. The only updates about the case throughout the years have been vague statements about ongoing efforts. Around the 10-year anniversary, Middlesex District Attorney, Martha Coakley said that her office had, quote, made some developments on the forensic front, end quote. Tom Farmer reports for the Boston Herald that those forensic developments included analysis of DNA evidence that had not been possible back in 1995. While forensic developments might have opened up new avenues for identifying potential suspects as early as 2005, the case also really needed and still needs witnesses to come forward.

The DA's office believed that someone or multiple someone's may have witnessed the murder, but had yet to come forward with their accounts. D.A. Coakley said that after a full decade into the investigation, whoever did offer up their information would be considered a hero. So for the month of March, once a year, for at least 10 years, the billboard with Deanna's face stared down at Somerville, waiting for a fraying relationship to unearth information never before shared, or guilt of conscience to move the killer to confess.

The reward has increased in recent years and now sits at $70,000, but the promise of a major payday has not brought this case to a close. No one has ever been officially named a suspect in Deanna's case and no charges have ever been brought against anyone. However, as reported in 2005, Somerville police were focusing on three individuals at that point. and they'd been the same three people since the early investigation. Now, according to some earlier reporting, the firefighter was supposedly ruled out as a suspect, but Peter Galzinnis claims that the firefighter was actually one of the three individuals

police were still actively investigating. Reporting in 2013 by Megany Irons for the Boston Globe identified a second potential suspect, a man who had previously served time for sexual assault, This person was questioned at some point during the investigation, and he denied killing Deanna, but is reported to have described what he would have done if he did do it. It's unclear how this person was initially linked to Deanna's case in the first place. The third person believed to be investigated is Deanna's boyfriend, Tommy LeBlanc. And it makes complete sense why Tommy has been side-eyed from day one.

He's believed to be the last person with Deanna before someone killed her. He said he walked her halfway home, and she was found within 500 feet of where Tommy said he parted ways with her that night. But not only that, according to court records, Tommy had a tendency towards violent outbursts, both before and after Deanna's death. Sean Flynn writes for the Boston Herald that Tommy previously lived with his father in Nashua, New Hampshire, before, quote, begging to move in with his mother in Somerville. In 1993, not long after he moved in with his mother, Susan LeBlank petitioned for a restraining order against her own son. She wrote in an affidavit that Tommy had been an angry child from age five or six.

It reads, quote, He has a history of a violent temper, and lately if he doesn't get his own way, he will react irrationally. End quote. Also in that affidavit, she accused Tommy of shooting her cat with a BB gun. She said that Tommy was, quote, on a collision course with himself, end quote. The May 1995 restraining order affidavit filed after Deanna's death includes similar information from Tommy's mother.

Susan LeBlank wrote in the 1995 affidavit that when her son went into a rage, she feared that her life was in jeopardy. It continues, quote, he has thrown lamps, furniture, etc., in his effort to maintain control of me. many occasions I feel that my house is not a home but more of a prison end quote on may 23rd 1995 a judge in somerville district court ordered to move out of his mother's home and keep 100 yards away from her at all times summerville police served tommy with the order and he was arrested on a default warrant but it's unclear what that warrant was for or if he faced charges susan only wanted to get the help he needed for his behavior and emotional struggles.

An attorney representing Tommy's mother said that the restraining order was not related to Deanna's murder, but that Tommy's mood swings, as she described them, got worse after Deanna's death. For Deanna's family, particularly her mother, Catherine, Tommy's version of events has never really satisfied her. She said that Tommy routinely walked Deanna home. He might have even walked her halfway before, but there was something distinctly different about that night as far as Catherine remembers it. She said that Tommy never called to see if Deanna made it home safely. According to Catherine, Tommy would always call to see if she'd gotten home after saying goodbye. Maybe the change in behavior, Catherine reports, is innocuous. He claimed he was expecting food

delivery, so perhaps he got home, dove right into the takeout, and forgot to give Deanna a call to confirmed she made it the final two or three-tenths of a mile back. But it's also possible that what Catherine identified as a divergence from what Tommy usually did tells a different story. Catherine had tried calling Tommy several times after Deanna's death, but says she only got through to him once. The exchange was brief, and she still has unanswered questions for him about Deanna's final hours. She hopes that his answers might reveal clues that could lead to her killer. In March of 2017, Catherine appealed to Tommy LeBlank through the media. She wrote a letter that reads in part, quote, today, on the 22nd anniversary of my daughter Deanna's death, I'm still

haunted by questions. For that reason, I'm begging you to please reach out to the mass state police and be kind enough to offer to be re-interviewed. I'm well aware of how painful it is for you to go back down this road, but I'm pleading with you to help me, help Deanna. You were the last one to spend time with her that night. Nobody can help her case like you can. Please, Tommy, please help. Please reach out to the MSP chief of homicide, end quote. I called all the numbers I could find for Tommy,

and I reached out to him on the only online platform I could find for him, but I haven't been able to speak with Tommy as of this episode's release date. That said, Tommy, if you want to talk about the loss of your girlfriend 30 years later, I'd still like to hear from you. The investigation into Deanna's murder unfolded at a time when forensic DNA analysis, as we know it today, was still developing. CODIS, the combined DNA index system, was introduced in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a few years after Deanna was murdered.

And so in recent years, as you've already heard, there's been questions about if and how CODIS and contemporary DNA testing might be able to expand what's known about Deanna's killer. Since her death, Massachusetts has enacted legislation requiring those convicted of certain criminal offenses in the state to submit a DNA sample to be entered into corresponding databases. This legislation has already directly contributed to the identification of suspects in other unsolved Massachusetts homicides. You'll remember the case of Lena Bruce that I covered recently on Dark Down East? A suspect previously unknown to the case was finally connected to her murder

when he was required to submit a DNA sample following a conviction for another unrelated crime. That DNA sample matched a profile collected at the scene of Lena's murder. This legislation could continue to identify suspects in other cases, maybe even Deanna's, but only if the samples are collected

and processed as required. However, a 2023 investigative report by WCVB's Karen Anderson found that Massachusetts was falling behind on the collection of DNA samples from people convicted of felony offenses. The backlog was upwards of 10 to 15,000 people. This upset Deanna's family and for good reason. The topic of DNA evidence has remained front and center during the most recent conversations about Deanna's case. Just this year, in March of 2025, the Somerville City Council announced a resolution calling for the re-investigation of two unsolved murders in the city, the case of Charlene Rosemond and that of Deanna Cremond.

As you've also recently heard on Dark Down East, there's finally been an arrest in Charlene Rosemont's murder. That announcement came days before the Middlesex District Attorney Marion Ryan appeared before the City Council in response to the resolution. On April 10, 2025, District Attorney Mary and Ryan spoke to the council members and attendees about the county's cold case unit. Since its creation in 2019, the unit has helped bring answers to 10 families and was responsible for the indictment of the suspect in Charlene Rosemont's case. The DA emphasized that cold cases are solved through persistence, time, and solid investigative work, with forensic tools like DNA analysis playing a supporting role. Justice may take years, but she assured the council members and families in attendance

that her office remains committed until every case is resolved. Deanna's mother, Catherine, listened from the audience as the DA discussed the unit's recent success, and then it was her turn to speak. My name is Captain Kerman. I am Deanna Kerman's mother. This year, it's been 30 years that the murder has been unsolved. Excuse me. Over the 30 years, I can't say that my horror has decreased,

but believe it or not, my hope, It gets stronger because of new forensic science, because of diligent investigators, our district attorney, a councilman, relatives, and friends who don't let this go to sleep. Among those relatives and friends who will not rest until Deanna's killer is brought to justice, is her friend Jamie McDonald, also at the council meeting that day. Jamie had a direct request for the district attorney. I'm asking me, DA, please, whatever there is, whatever DNA, that we have not done, do it. If we've done it, do it again.

If there's someone willing to help, let them help us, anything. I can't continue on and have no answer for my friend. I don't feel I am doing her justice right now. When DA Ryan returned to the mic, she addressed the topic of forensic DNA testing. She could not speak to the evidence available in Deanna's case specifically. However, she emphasized that DNA evidence comes with several limitations and careful considerations. And I thought what she had to say was really enlightening. First, investigators must recover a usable DNA sample,

which is difficult because crime-seeing DNA is rarely pristine and can degrade due to environmental factors like heat or rain. and then even when a sample is obtained, it must meet quality standards to produce a full profile that can be uploaded to databases for comparison. She pointed out that testing DNA consumes part of the sample and by law in Massachusetts, half of what's available must be preserved for potential testing by the defense,

which means investigators must be strategic about when and how they use it. The DA went on to explain that advances in technology over the past decades have made it possible to analyze mixed DNA samples and obtain profiles from smaller or more complex evidence, so cases are often revisited when new methods emerge. However, even with a full profile, a match is only possible if the person's DNA is already in the database. This is where forensic genealogy adds value to investigations, by identifying relatives of an unknown suspect, and building family trees to narrow down possible matches before confirming through a court-ordered DNA sample.

This evolving science has helped solve decades-old cases, but it requires careful sample management and constant re-evaluation as testing capabilities improve. Now, Counselor Jesse Klingen originated the resolution calling for the reinvestigation of Deanna's case, and he's a longtime friend of the Kremlin family. The counselor asked DA Ryan a series of pointed questions about Deanna's case. He wanted to know if the cold case unit she spoke about and commended for their work on Charlene's case was also investigating Deanna's murder. The DA explained that cases older than six years are generally treated as cold cases. Despite the age of Deanna's case, though, it remains with the chief of homicide who has handled it for nearly

30 years and who works closely with the head of the cold case unit. The DA positioned this long-term involvement as an advantage to the case because of the established relationships with Deanna's family and the greater Somerville community. Counselor Klingan also asked about the perceived reluctance of the DA's office to work with outside experts to further the investigation into Deanna's murder. But DA Ryan said that this is not the case. They work with outside agencies and experts all the time. But she also said that her office has a valuable asset in-house that others in the state do not. There's a forensic genealogist on staff. The DA did not elaborate on how this asset might be specifically aiding the investigation into Deanna's murder. But if you look

at the most recent information about the case and evidence that might be available to further the investigation, forensic genetic genealogy might be exactly what it needs after all these years. As recently as 2013, local media coverage revealed that there were findings of sexual assault in DNA's case. This information was either not confirmed or was strategically withheld early on in the investigation. So if a DNA profile has been developed from biological evidence, we got to hope that profile has also been entered into all of the appropriate databases for a potential match. And if it has, but there's no match yet, that could be because the perpetrator's DNA profile does not exist in the available databases. Maybe that backlog of samples is playing a role here.

Maybe the profile hasn't made its way into CODIS yet to identify potential matches. Or perhaps the killer did not go on to commit any other crimes after the requirement was put into place, for those with felony convictions to submit a DNA profile. But with forensic genetic genealogy, a match to a potential suspect in a database doesn't have to be the end of the investigation. Perhaps a relative of the killer has, or will someday enter their profile into a database accessible by law enforcement. If the profile points to a family member,

that's where a family tree comes in to analyze relatives, who might fit the profile of a potential suspect. According to DA Ryan's statements at the council meeting, Deanna's case has been under active review since October of 2021. There's been hundreds of hours of re-examination, new investigative approaches, and DNA testing, even if results have not yet been achieved or seen publicly. The DA shared her confidence that behind-the-scenes progress

will eventually lead to a resolution. just as it did in the case of Charlene Rosemond. I know that there are so many murders that are just like, oh, well, another one gone because of the world is in such chaos. But, you know, what happened to Deanna and what it inevitably did to my family and a lot of her friends were her presence, would have definitely made a difference in their lives.

Deanna's death had a ripple effect on the Kremlin family and those closest to her. The emotional toll left Catherine struggling in day-to-day life. She lost her job, her home fell into foreclosure. By the time the one-year anniversary arrived, Catherine and Deanna's stepfather had separated and she was moving out of the home on Jake Street, where Deanna once lived too.

She battled substance use and charges relating to driving under the influence, which resulted in probation. She lost custody of her other children for a time. The fallout of losing Deanna threatened to torpedo her life but Catherine did eventually find her way through the storm

she even started her own support group to help others in the midst of substance use she remains committed to honoring Deanna's life remembering her bright light and hoping to someday CNN to all the unknowns there are so many versions of Deanna's future that her family and friends are left to only imagine now

but if there's one thing everyone knew about Deanna it was that she loved children. She wanted to become a preschool teacher someday, and she probably would have. Deanna was ambitious and seemed to have a plan laid out on how to achieve her dreams. She was the neighborhood's favorite babysitter, and she was even enrolled in an early childhood development course

that allowed her to work with third graders at a local elementary school. As reported by Sarah Morrison for the Boston Globe, in a class assignment on March 29, 1995, what's believed to be the same day of her death, Deanna made a list of five goals she wanted to achieve for her life. They were, graduate high school, get a job she liked, by a dark green Mustang convertible, have a happy family, and live a long and healthy life.

For Deanna's friend Jamie, the rawness of her grief even 30 years later has not changed. Neither has her commitment to doing whatever she can for the Kremlin family. There has been no stone unturned as a friend, as a community. We have had rallies, we've had walks, we've had masses, we've had, you know, we've done everything we can do to try to keep her memory alive. But we have a capacity and there is a boundary as, you know, individual citizens that we can only take it so far. And here, 30 years later, which is unfathomable, unfathomable. to be here still and have the same answer that I had as that 16-year-old girl when I was pulled up high school to be told my friend will strangle to death. I have that same answer today, which is nothing.

There's no reason. To use Jamie's word, it's unfathomable to know that Deanna's life ended so viciously, so close to home, that her life of promise ended so abruptly by an assaitherto. who has managed to avoid consequence three decades later. A friend once said back in 1995, quote, this can't have been done by anyone who knew her. She was too nice. No one who knew her could have done this. End quote.

Deanna was a goofball, said one friend. At the same time, she was warm and caring. She was bubbly and outgoing. And she had a mischievous spirit. She snuck her share of cigarettes. She skipped school on occasion, got a few detentions. But there was nothing about her lifestyle or behavior that had anyone worried about Deanna. She was liked by just about every person who crossed her path.

That sentiment is reinforced by the repeated showing of support for the Kremlin family. Still, after so many years, when the Kremlin's and Deanna's friends announced a memorial mass or remembrance event, supporters show up in droves. On some anniversaries of her death, her loved ones have organized a walk in her honor. Hundreds of people have walked the very same route from Broadway down Jake Street to Deanna's former home. It's a symbolic journey to finish the walk she didn't survive.

Deanna's mother closed her time at the city council meeting this past April with the same wish she's repeated for 30 years, that one day she will see her daughter's case solved, and that Deanna's life and legacy will never be forgotten. I don't know who killed Deanna for a fact. I know where my suspicions lie, but you can't close that door either. And so you have absolute proof. And I do believe that, you know, talking about this at this time,

and keeping the bubbly little life that she had, her kind of her strong ambition, and insight for her growth, for her, what she was going to do in the world with her skills. I just want people to be peaceful one another the way Deanna would have been and never give up hope that Deanna's murder is going to get fault. Thank you.
